Not what I expected

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.

Pros

Plenty of good to excellent projects but also more than enough get it out the door fast projects.

Cons

Work pace; management expectations to high considering available manpower resources and deadlines. Employee appreciation is planned and scheduled, seemingly forced. Project management seems out of touch.
