Quick Decline Coupled with a lot of Disappointment
Pros
I had a great, collaborative and talented team when I started. The pay, benefits and flexibility were nice. I worked with a lot of great people, but there were definitely some bad apples that ultimately made it a horrible experience.
Cons
My manager was wildly inappropriate on numerous levels. She would change our work that was signed off on by all stakeholders without informing us simply due to her preference which is interesting considering it did not align with our style guide or existing content, often times her changes were not grammatically correct. After returning from maternity leave, my manager asked me repeatedly (6 times minimum) if I was breast feeding - I was not, but also remote, so why she felt the need to repeatedly ask me this was incredibly inappropriate and uncomfortable. When I brought the fact that she was changing our work without informing us to HR, I was laid off a week later. Clearly a case of retaliation. There were numerous instances where she asked various co-workers inappropriate questions - one female coworker was out sick and upon return our manager asked if she was pregnant and proceeded to tell her what a blessing to be with child is. All of this was brought to the attention of HR, nothing was done.
