Storytelling is nice but actions matter! - Data Scientist Holistic AI Employee Review

I was promised many things, almost none of them got materialized. You will start working as what they call data scientist but in reality you will end up working on Excel spreadsheets or whatever they consider essential for the company, typically involving uninspiring ideas. Reluctantly, I share this review, prompted by witnessing a colleague forced to leave the company. The criteria for passing probation are ambiguous, seemingly dependent on whether they like you or not rather than defined standards. I'd suggest to temper your enthusiasm about completing the probationary period, as even after a successful probation, the prospect of termination persists, exemplified by my teammate dismissed without a clear reason, except that they were no longer favored, causing them stress and ultimately leading to their departure—a situation that suggests my colleague was compelled to leave. I started asking myself, how was that possible for someone like them, that already passed probation and I later discovered, through one of my friends, that the motivation behind their actions is the protection afforded by UK legislation, which facilitates an easier termination of employment within the initial 2 years of service.
