Not the Experience I Expected - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Applied Systems

The job description that I was interviewed for and the role expectations were different. The job description lined up more with my background. What they wanted didn’t. Management for my team was new (to the company and/or management). There were no standards in the place for the work we were to do. Management feedback sometimes was contradictory between my manager and the director (and sometimes my manager’s feedback contradicted itself based on the day). The commentary and “helpful” information provided to me from management was at times unprofessional, condescending, and passive-aggressive. I knew within a short time that this was not a long-term place for me. If I had this experience as someone just starting my career, this could’ve damaged my perception of working in a corporate environment. It was hard to truly develop a relationship with peers while having a such a negative top down experience.
