Pros
My team was fantastic and most of them were a delight to work with. I also appreciated the work/life balance and flexible PTO. The overall work culture and environment created by the company was pleasant.
Cons
I was lied to. My position was gradually becoming something that was not in my original area of expertise and did not completely align with what I was originally hired for. But that's not the part that upsets me. I received an improvement plan containing a few areas that contained deadlines to meet and an area of engagement. I received numerous compliments saying that I was doing great with improving my team engagement and I was all set to have the other work completed by the established deadlines. A week before said deadlines, they let me go without even bringing up the established plan or listing the reasons. I believed that my job was safe due to the compliments on my work and engagement and because I was able to meet the established deadlines. I was told that if I aligned with the plan, I would continue with my position. Apparently, this was not the case. My team superior that I reported to regularly was not completely clear on what they wanted. Apparently, they told me they wanted A, B, and C from me. During my final meeting, I guess they actually wanted D, E, and F from me. It would have been nice if I was informed about that.
