Pros

The team I worked with was mostly supportive and collaborative. The work environment can be positive depending on the department and team dynamics.

Cons

Lack of transparency in management decisions: I was unexpectedly asked to resign with no clear or valid explanation. This lack of communication and transparency was unsettling, and it left me questioning the company's leadership and organizational practices. Unclear career progression: There was little to no discussion around growth opportunities, and feedback on performance was inconsistent. Unstable job security: The culture felt unpredictable, and I did not feel confident in my future with the company after being asked to resign suddenly without any constructive feedback.
