From the start, I felt undervalued and unsupported. Leadership lacked transparency; feedback was vague or unhelpful. My manager seemed uncomfortable providing honest feedback, especially across racial lines, which created tension instead of growth. Workplace culture was cliquish, and it was difficult to feel included. There was a constant pressure to prove your worth, which became exhausting over time. Very little career growth or mentorship opportunities—definitely not a good place for young professionals starting out.
