Pros
Great onboarding, was reached out to by the recruiter and the open position they were trying to fill was perfect for my skill set. Wonderful interview process, the team was very friendly and welcoming. I was really looking forward to a wonderful start, plus the Glassdoor reviews were great.
Cons
Too many red flags once I started. Details were held back as if they were prized possessions, I was not allowed to use or learn certain programs, and I would go back and forth with my manager 20 times over email to get a simple detail from them. I was moved to another group 7 months in to "mentor", not manage, the young marketing team in EU and the US. Assumptions and gossip were another issue I had to contend with. Things would come back to me that were not true, completely made up about me that I believe found their way to senior management when the RIF occurred. Also, the company was not bringing in the numbers quarter over quarter, and I had a feeling that I would be getting laid off when I was tasked with completing a multitude of projects and asked to deliver a presentation to the team on 2024 plans by November 7. I completed the projects, delivered the presentation, and was laid off on November 8. There has now been a mass layoff of most US employees and I see that the only openings available are now in the EU, India or GB.
