Pros
The work itself is fulfilling, and I enjoy the team I collaborate with. I’ve consistently received positive feedback, with 4/5 and 5/5 performance reviews. Flexibility in work hours has been appreciated, especially as I’ve been able to return part-time after maternity leave and gradually ramp back up to full-time.
Cons
Despite meeting all deliverables on time or ahead of schedule, and consistently performing at a high level, I’ve not been considered for promotion. I’ve led a team and regularly provided updates alongside higher-level colleagues, but the lack of career advancement has been discouraging. It’s disheartening to watch coworkers without children or caregiving responsibilities receive promotions more quickly. The disparity in growth opportunities between those with family commitments and those without is glaring.
