Pros

Hybrid work - Life to work balance

Cons

I explored opportunities for career growth elsewhere and discussed them with my employer, hoping for a mutually beneficial resolution. Despite assurances, I observed a concerning shift in dynamics, with my responsibilities being gradually reassigned to a new hire. Several months later, I was presented with a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) that contained inaccuracies. When I declined to sign, I was given an ultimatum: sign or resign. Feeling unsupported and undervalued, I had to leave under duress. Overall, I felt disappointed by the lack of transparency and recognition for my contributions, leading to a decision to part ways with the company, Why give someone a Senior Position but months later give them a PIP. Didn't make sense to me

Thank you for your feedback, all feedback is welcome and helpful. As a clarification to our company policy, we use a performance improvement plan (PIP) as a constructive tool to support employees in achieving their best performance and that signing is simply an acknowledgement, not an agreement. Any changes in team dynamics, structure or responsibilities are business decisions for the good of the employee, team and company as we have a commitment to growth and evolution for all.

Cons

PMs are isolated and not supportive of the design team. They follow blindly clients' requests at the expense of the employees and the office's profit. The office could also be a good salesperson. Not enough relevant projects,
