The recruitment process here often feels more like a subjective psychological assessment than a merit-based evaluation. Decisions seem to hinge on an individual's "perceived fit" rather than their actual skills or performance, leading to a sense of non-transparent career manipulation. It suggests some HR practices might be counter to fair advancement. This approach isn't just unfair; it's a huge liability, especially for a finance department. Failing to follow proper regulations here could lead to incredible claims, massive expenses, and severe regulatory penalties. Some people are better with high level view others with details and you need to bring them both to common ground, not split people apart.
