Lunch is provided, and the food is fairly good. The chairman takes reasonably good care of the employees.
1. Anyone joining as an HR professional should be mentally prepared for long-term overtime. The company uses a system developed in-house many years ago (IBM Lotus Notes), which is not very user-friendly. HR has to spend a lot of time using Excel for post-processing; otherwise, they have to wait for IT to write a special program. (However, IT is highly cooperative and efficient.) Email also uses an IBM system, so people accustomed to using Outlook may need quite some time to adjust.
2. HR currently falls under the supervision of the Executive Vice President of Finance, who is a highly respected senior executive. His work attitude and professionalism are both admirable. However, I do not need to say much about the difficulties that can arise when HR is managed by someone with a finance background; HR professionals should be able to understand.
3. In day-to-day work, HR administration accounts for the majority of the tasks. If you hope to grow in planning or are an HR professional considering rapid career development in the future, this may not be the right place for you. For HR professionals seeking stability, it could be worth considering if you can accept long-term overtime and standardized, relatively limited salary increases.
