Training was nonexistent. Was greeted on my first day then ghosted for 2 hours. My first few weeks basically consisted of me doing absolutely nothing, even when I tried inserting myself and asking if others needed help. It was either that or it would be a last minute overview/walkthrough of something, and I was expected to remember everything and take it on as my own, there was never an in-between or structured training experience. Also not to mention being handed off to someone different every day for "training" due to whoever was training me for the day would be OOO for the next week and would have to hand me over to someone else. I understand that cross-collabing is essential for certain projects across different departments, but never understood the point of useless back-to-back meetings with completely different branches/brands of the company that had nothing to do with what we were doing. I was constantly added to meetings with no context during my first couple of weeks, expected to know things I was never briefed on. So much cross function often led to confusion. Managers themselves always asking what the purpose of every meeting was. Seems like everyone is lost. At the same time, they are overly structured. Have to keep an excel sheet for every single thing you do. It feels like we had to spend so much time perfecting every part of an excel sheet for something, that there would would little to no action/time left towards completing the actual project or task. Unnecessary communication outside of working hours. Office is full of gossipers and people who constantly disrespect or lash out on people on a personal level over work matters, making it a very dreadful and negative environment. They pride themselves on this concept of being unrealistically fast paced, leading to decisions being made based more on speed than anything else. So even if it's the wrong decision, they'll go with it, resulting in more work for everyone in the end. Managers let you sink or swim by never giving feedback or guidance on work tasks in the first place, just showing past work of theirs and saying “make it like this”…but then once you complete something, everything is wrong and you have to redo it. I also feel like there's little room for making real connections or growing between all the different teams and people you have to deal with instead of getting to focus within your own department and role first. Had to leave this place after being diagnosed with severe anxiety and experiencing physical health problems from the stress/chaos. Stay away if you can.
