1.0 — Lack of direction, stability, and support
Pros
Some exposure to different marketing projects early on, but the positives are very limited.
Cons
1. No clear direction — Different founders often set different expectations, which constantly shifts priorities and makes it hard to understand what success looks like. 2. Unstable work environment — Very high employee turnover. Several employees (including myself) did not stay beyond probation, which seems to be a recurring pattern. 3. Poor work-life balance — Expected to attend meetings outside normal work hours, including weekends. 4. Limited feedback and development support — Performance expectations are high but feedback is minimal or unclear, making it hard to improve or grow in the role. 5. Unrealistic expectations — Goals are sometimes set without considering available resources, timelines, or team capacity. 6. My probation was extended without clear reasoning, but the role ended shortly after key events, making the experience feel transactional rather than growth-oriented.
