Pros
Some talented and hard-working colleagues, though they are overshadowed by severe management issues.
Cons
Unprofessional and Disorganised Leadership: My experience with leadership, particularly the CMO, has been highly unprofessional. In July, I raised concerns after discovering that I was being talked about without my knowledge. This created an uncomfortable work environment where rumors and hearsay seemed to guide decisions, rather than transparent communication or performance metrics. I requested clarification directly from the CMO and COO at the time, but instead of resolving the issue, it felt swept under the rug. Lack of Proper Feedback and Growth Opportunities: Following the July incident, I received no immediate specific feedback or action items to address any concerns (my original email to the C-Level, to this day, has never been answered). This vague and non-constructive approach carried on, culminating in my unexpected (or perhaps, very anticipated - the price you pay for speaking up) termination months later. This termination came after the CMO sent me a meeting invite on a Saturday without any agenda (which is the bare minimum, Saturday meetings aside), only to fire me on Monday. It felt incredibly impersonal and disorganised. HR Practices Are Substandard: HR did little to address or resolve the ongoing issues (but a 'Speak Up' policy is in place), whether it was the discomfort caused by the July incident or the abrupt termination later on. The lack of structured communication from both management and HR left me feeling unsupported throughout my time at the company. This points to a major flaw in how the company handles employee relations. Toxic Work Environment Driven by Hearsay: There is a noticeable reliance on hearsay and internal gossip to make decisions, rather than fair and transparent performance evaluations. In my experience, there was no clear communication between leadership and staff, and important feedback was vague or nonexistent. This culture of whisper networks creates a toxic and unproductive environment for employees.
