Pros
- Chance to work with various international personnel and learn. - Free to move internally and try whichever roles as just about each department is understaffed, as long as you have a functional supervisor who will approve so. - Real assignments/tasks. - Shoutout to the Young Professionals Club. Everything you guys did from planning to venue selection to turnout were amazing.
Cons
There was this end-of-year potluck party which people mostly brought desserts, shortage of main dish to feed everyone, and no water at all. Usually for this kind of event, the organizer would have pizza or sliders as a baseline, but none of that was arranged and with no coordination on what folks are bringing, and probably with no funding at all. Considering this was the Operations department potluck party, it sure seemed symbolic of the competency of the department. I was eventually part of the layoff a few months later that came without any warning and both my boss and I were out when we were just discussing work as usual the day before.
