Pros
Exposure to a fast paced environment. Opportunity to learn about startup operations.
Cons
Based on my experience, there were several concerning issues related to professionalism and leadership: 1. Background checks were conducted without prior consent from the candidate, which felt inappropriate and unprofessional. 2. The VP of HR often appeared to disregard labor law standards, raising serious questions about credibility and HR governance. 3. The VP of HR frequently spoke negatively about other managers, creating an unhealthy and unprofessional working environment. 4. There was no clear budget allocated for employee development or team-building activities, which negatively affected morale. 5. Leadership lacked direction and consistency, resulting in confusion and low motivation within teams. 6. Overall management culture did not reflect best practices in people management or compliance. 7. There appeared to be a management strategy of minimizing professional hiring by replacing full-time roles with interns, while assigning them responsibilities equivalent to permanent staff. Which resulting confusion within teams.
