Pros

It was a paid job.

Cons

I started my role only to hear the hiring manager had left (he was new and apparently handed in his notice within a few days of joining - I don't know his reason(s) why). It was known during the interview stages that I didn't have a specific background, but due to this newly created team and the TUPE of a staff member, I would been shown the ropes...x3 months later and being sat around with nothing to do daily (with no leadership/direct management) I was subjected to a colleagues personal life issues and got daily updates to my dismay...and was told to do on-line courses that did not pertain in anyway to the role I was employed for. I discussed my concerns with the Snr in H.R and have no idea what was done with that disclosure. Once I’d finally met my TUPE’d colleague, he was thrown into assisting the orientation of the newly hired team manager and this did not change further months into my role (he acted as his cover during annual leave also). Another observation was the lack of U.K centric knowledge from the U.S headquarters - this is apparently why the TUPE took so long, because they didn’t factor in U.K employment laws into their team recruitment plans. Eventually I resigned, after 6-months of ‘trying’ and being patient. The salary was ok, and location ideal - apart from that no much else good to say based on my experience obviously.

Pros

My team tried to support me. I did complete some solid work before everything became chaotic.

Cons

I would come in each day ready to work on what we had actually planned, and then halfway through the morning everything would shift and I would need to scrap work and start over, and this would just keep happening constantly without warning. No one from above ever explained what the actual goals were or what we were supposed to be accomplishing, so I was always working blind and guessing at what mattered. Decisions got made and pushed down without anyone checking in with the people actually doing the work, which meant major deliverables got restarted multiple times for no reason I could understand. I spent way more time trying to figure out what was being asked of me than actually producing anything, and that just wore me down over time. Eventually I just stopped trying to make sense of any of it.
