Cons
- Never talk during internal/external meetings unless you're addressed directly. You can ask questions, otherwise you'll be redundant because you'll annoy the management - My first line manager was very poor with onboarding - no structure yet he was checking when was the last time I opened a link.. little did he know I simply made copies of everything and made my own tracking doc file to be more organized. Second line manager was light years better tho. - Unclear expectations from day 1 - different managers demanded different things and there was no alignement, however it'll be your fault if you don't get it right - no way of keeping track of their requests/work - 0 framework, no follow ups with emails, which means it's hard to prove a manager asked you to conduct specific tasks. - expected to work autonomously in your first month whilst also being told to take it easy, run your work via your line manager first, engage with stakeholders. - I was told by a skip level manager that my email sent wasn't good enough even though it was signed off by my line manager who said it's exactly what's needed. I was wildly confused - NEVER try and act casual with senior managers. They might seem friendly yet they're EXTREMELY sensitive and will get pissed off. You'll be redundant. - NO innovation/trying to improve processes - you'll work heavily with Power Point. Make sure you COPY-PASTE what's give to you as it's pre-approved otherwise the managers will be pissed off if it's different. You'll be redundant. Hope it helps :)
