Polished onboarding

The HR advice line saved us during a tricky disciplinary, and onboarding new hires feels polished rather than clunky. You outgrow it as you get larger and more complex, but we live with it.

Pros

The HR advice line saved us during a tricky disciplinary.

You outgrow it as you get larger and more complex.
