Pros
Remote opportunity
This role taught me resilience and how to maintain professionalism in a challenging environment as a woman of minority.
Cons
The interpersonal environment within the Finance Department was difficult from day one. I experienced unprofessional behavior early on, including overhearing targeted comments that suggested i wasnt welcomed. When I later sought clarification, the remarks were denied, raising concerns about transparency and accountability.
Training felt more performative than supportive. While delivered with surface-level politeness, the tone often came across as dismissive or condescending, which created an emotionally unsafe learning environment.
Management interactions were inconsistent and at times hostile. Occasional friendliness was offset by a lack of consistent support, and it became apparent that fitting into the unspoken office dynamic was more important than job performance. Employees who didn’t align with the social culture were gradually excluded. Being respectful, quiet, and professional made me a target and sustainable to emotional distress. My advice is the moment they say something that is inappropriate report it immediately.
Also on day one they showed me my social media account (which was a craft account), and the way it was brought up gave the impression that I was being monitored. This created a sense of discomfort and raised concerns about boundaries and professionalism.
If you dont fit it in, they will simpily remove you. This team is mentally draining. They also will try to pull reactions out of you as well, they ended my contract the week of my birthday. I expected this and thankfully was prepared.
