Pros
- Nice colleagues - Exciting growth - Office snacks
Cons
- Leadership challenges significantly impacted us - Patterns of behavior created a stressful and toxic work environment - Leadership style lacked trust, consistency, and respect, affecting team culture and individual performance - Instances of unprofessional behavior and lack of respect for boundaries in private and group settings - Harsh and inappropriate communication style negatively impacted motivation and well-being - Consistently high workload with unrealistic expectations around availability and responsiveness. Tasks sometimes assigned at the end of the day or before log-off, adding pressure and blurring healthy boundaries. - Chaotic work and project management often resulted in intense, last-minute deadlines - Effort and hard work often not appreciated and even undermined - Compensation below market average, no additional benefits like Christmas bonuses or vacation allowances - Feedback and concerns raised were not addressed; no changes were made - Several colleagues shared similar experiences and ultimately chose to leave
