Pros
I started with an amazing manager who provided clarity, direction, and genuine support. Under that leadership, I performed strongly and delivered meaningful work and results. The projects were engaging, and my colleagues were clearly all talented, collaborative, and dedicated to outputting good work.
Cons
After my original manager left, guidance and structure disappeared. I was constantly pulled between two competing areas with shifting priorities and little feedback. Whenever I asked for feedback, I was told to "keep doing what I was doing". Soon afterwards, I was blindsided with a negative performance review, without any prior warning or constructive feedback. Leadership communication was virtually nonexistent, with no clear expectations given. I was let go shortly after delivering a major client impacting analysis, which felt calculated and incredibly disrespectful.
