Pros
- Latest grade equipment (should it be a pro?) - International environment
Cons
1. Lack of managerial support I was repeatedly assigned to high-pressure client projects without proper knowledge transfer or onboarding time. Despite asking for help and raising red flags early, I was left alone to manage complex situations. My direct manager was often absent from key alignments, and requests for internal coordination were ignored. Months after being told everything was fine, I was later criticized for “not handling stress well enough.” 2. Manipulative and ambiguous communication I was consistently reassured that my work was appreciated, only to receive unexpected negative feedback during performance reviews. I was initially told I would receive a company car — this later became a conditional “maybe” based on vague future results. A proposal to relocate into another country included a salary reduction, disguised as a growth opportunity. 3. Blame-shifting culture The company failed to back me up with difficult clients, even when project delays were due to poor documentation and constant changes on their end. An escalation was made against me instead of recognizing the actual root causes. Despite confirmation from colleagues and PMs that my concerns were valid, the CEO forced a last-minute on-site trip to “prove my dedication,” instead of addressing the systemic issues. 4. Lack of recognition for effort My attention to detail and proactive questions were dismissed as “too picky” or “annoying,” even though they aimed to protect the project. I sacrificed personal time (including vacation and birthdays) for last-minute deployments, with no meaningful acknowledgment. Instead of appreciating these efforts, I was made to feel guilty and blamed when things went wrong.
