Pros
- I loved working with most of my colleagues - had a chance to work on things with people from other teams and had a really positive experience with senior level members being super helpful and willing to mentor/teach
Cons
- I was criticized for being direct with my questions and pretty much told to be more passive/indirect - something I've been taught to NOT be in the workforce, especially given the demographic I fall into - I asked for clear goals/expectations to aim for, was told "it depends," then criticized for not meeting expectations a few months in. Was not put on a real PIP which was really confusing. The messaging was "you have X months to work on Y things, but we don't think you can do it," and pressured to leave before review time came around. The things they pointed out were things they could have provided me feedback on in the months/weeks before since we had weekly 1:1 reviews, not sure what the purpose of the weekly meetings are if none of these issues were brought up in them previously - came into the company expecting mentorship and growth environment after my interviews, but often told that xyz were things I should know to look up - outside of product/design/engineering, there's pretty much no diversity in this company
