Svantaggi
Unfortunately, my experience was overwhelmingly negative due to the lack of direction, poor management, outdated equipment and programs, and a corporate team that is over a decade behind on technology. When I was hired, I was promised that the company was in the process of modernizing its automation technology. However, I quickly realized that there was no real plan or direction for this initiative. Instead, I was in an empty position created without any real purpose. My supervisor had no automation projects for me to work on, and the corporate automation team shut down any projects that I tried to undertake, demonstrating that they were not interested in modernizing their technology. The equipment was outdated, and the programs were convoluted and poorly designed. The local team lacked the knowledge and resources to manage the current equipment, let alone introduce new technology. I expressed my concerns several times, but management was not supportive, and it was clear that they had no desire to make changes or provide me with the necessary support. When I gave my notice, they terminated me immediately, which was disappointing as they did not allow me to transfer my project documents or updates to anyone.
