Pros
Individual contributors on my team were very friendly and nice
Cons
My employment was terminated only a couple of months after I was hired, with no warnings, reviews (formal or informal), or any indication prior; meanwhile, I had received praise both in writing and in 1:1 calls with my upper manager. When I was terminated I was told that my "skills just weren't up to par" for the work being achieved, but when I requested a formal explanation from HR, they gave me nothing. On the same day of my termination, the company had agreed to receive essentially the work I would be developing from a third party, which is why I believe I was let go. It is exceptionally cruel not least to inform your employees why they are being terminated in such an abrupt manner with no feedback or prior warning. Aside from the lack of transparency, there is a lack of communication between upper management and the CEO. There were many projects that I had to complete at the beginning of my employment where many heads of different departments had instructed me on different protocols for the project, which caused a nightmare back-and-forth situation that led to working over a holiday due to the project's deadline. In the end, all of the prior ideas were scrapped due to the CEO's last-minute input. As a very process-oriented individual, this was extremely frustrating to see that my time was not being respected and that ultimately those who I consulted with and asked for feedback were not on the same page with each other.
