I learned a lot in a short time, but it came at the cost of clarity, and trust in leadership.The good thingsI’ve grown faster here than anywhere else I’ve worked. The fast-paced environment and sheer amount of work pushed me to learn and adapt quickly. It’s a place where you can gain a lot of experience in a short amount of time, especially if you’re someone who thrives in chaos and likes figuring things out as you go.
I was also lucky to have supportive and kind peers who made the day-to-day more bearable. Without them, it would’ve been a very different experience.
The challengesThe real challenge wasn’t the workload — it was the lack of structure and direction. The company tends to focus on short-term wins instead of building a strong foundation for long-term success. This constant reactive mode creates unnecessary stress and confusion.
There were many days I felt anxious before work, unsure if what I was doing even mattered in the bigger picture. The inconsistency in leadership only made things worse — a good manager can help you survive, but a bad one amplifies everything that’s broken.
What concerns me most is the culture. Departments often work in silos, and when things go wrong, the instinct is to blame rather than collaborate. It becomes political, and that drains people fast. It’s disheartening to see great talent leave, not because they can’t handle the work.
Turnover is treated as a “culture fit” issue, but from what I’ve seen, it’s more about poor leadership and lack of accountability. People are replaced quickly, but the same problems repeat.
