Thrown into a project in my second week with zero shadowing, training, or proper onboarding.
Manager failed to check in or provide guidance, then criticised performance months later.
Contradictory management style: told I wasn’t fulfilling the behaviour of a solution consultant one day, offered help with technical config issues the next.
Feedback was often based on comparisons to others rather than constructive development.
First ever technical discussion with my manager was scheduled 3 months in, the day after being told I wasn’t meeting expectations.
Culture felt reactive, not supportive — more about blame than enabling success.
