HR is terrible. This is a political, bureaucratic and backstabbing department that is incompetent and not helpful. Everyone at the company has to do reviews twice a year; a complete waste of cycle and time.
HR is an organization that is supposed to help retain and recruit talents. How do you do that when your own organization has nearly 100% turnover rate? It snoops on its own employee emails and chats. One HR employee made sure everyone knows that she's leaving because the organization is incompetent and dishonest.
