The HR department environment (specifically the tenured employees) often felt unwelcoming and unsupportive with little guidance or structured training provided. At times, interactions came across as passive-aggressive, and it was easy to feel like a burden when asking questions. Many tasks lacked depth or meaningful impact, and relationships within the team felt superficial. I was repeatedly instructed to publicly state “I have no updates” during daily morning meetings with 20+ colleagues, which felt unnecessary, uncomfortable, and disempowering. The culture tended to take minor matters very seriously, which added unnecessary stress.
