Svantaggi
- The actual experience was nothing like what was sold to me during the interview - A heavy workload, coupled with numerous meetings, created a chaotic and overwhelming environment. - There was unclear direction from leadership, which caused lots of confusion and inefficiency - Management can only be characterised by poor communication, micromanagement, and a lack of empathy - Favouritism, blame culture, and a lack of accountability contributed to a serious toxic environment - Leadership failed to invest in employee growth or provide clear direction - The company was very disorganised, where long hours were required, including working at weekends - The demanding workload and chaotic environment negatively affected mental and physical health - The company’s instability including probation extensions, failed probations, demotions, layoffs and terminations gave rise to insecurity and severe anxiety and mental health issues across the company - The company's values did not align with its actual practices - Internal politics and bureaucracy greatly hindered productivity and creativity
