Beware! Overworked and unappreciated

Pros

My first year in the job was decent and manager was nice enough.

Cons

Where do I start😭 In all my years of working, this is the only job I have left without sustaining any meaningful relationship or even desire to. I started this job with high hopes and expectations due to the prospects and development ideas that was sold to me at the interview. The team was in its infancy and I thought I could make a real mark and experience progression. This led to years of hard work laying the foundation for my area. In my last year there, I was simply overworked and had little energy or desire to participate in extras. I would wake up with anxieties about going to work but I remained optimistic because I thought it was part of the growing pains of an underdeveloped organisation. Most people there were always too busy to have any real collaboration or not feel like you were pestering them. It soon became obvious that I could no longer sacrifice my health and peace of mind with no real prospect of promotion. I found one of the Execs to be quite overbearing. On my last day, I worked till past 6pm. The most underwhelming last day I've ever had in any organisation.

Think before joining

Pros

- good salary - new office is going to be very nice

Cons

Terrible senior/mid level leadership. Can only assume they are lying to c-suite level as the ‘ground truth’ is vey different to what I hear back. Extremely ‘clique-y’ as well with only the people who’s faces fit getting (over)promoted. Lot of leavers over the last 12-18 months, yet rather than ask why they’re leaving, they’re all painted as bad. Very unprofessional with people repeatedly slagging off/blaming past employees for current issues. Very little internal ownership of the multitude of current issues - just a pass the buck blame game. Lots of slagging off of people behind their backs on teams - again - unless you’re in the clique, it can be like Mean Girls. I saw one person ‘managed out’ - very unprofessional in my opinion and nigh on bullying from their boss.

Pros

Not many I guess they pay you every month

Cons

A real warning for those thinking of joining. Utterly appalling bullying senior management in certain areas. There are plenty of organisations that will treat you with dignity and fairness this isn’t one
