Well, I have to clarify I'm not from HR so what I say is base on observation of my own department and also my interaction with the ladies from HR during work.
In general, culture is pretty slow paced and bureaucratic, not much out of the box thinking or solutions generating, most of it is follow SOP follow the policy and troubleshoot when got problems.
The people there are quite nice, but definitely not the smart type who really know a lot about their profession or can front big business stakeholders. So if you want some stability with pleasant colleagues then its a good place, but if you want to build up professional network or get promotions or career development, that's not the place to be.
Colleagues who have left always try to get themselves into a good well known MNC only to not even make it to 1st round and end up in some other GLC or public sector, so if your intention is to be some HRBP in a big MNC like google or oracle then this place is a no no.
But for HR if you need to deal extensively with doctors and head nurses, must be prepared for some rude and unreasonable demands from them. They can be a bit marvericky or quirky and tend to blast you on the spot if they are not happy. For me I dont really care as my boss is influential and I know they cant do anything to me.
