Pros
The location is decent enough, and the commute did not make things worse than they already were.
Cons
- There is a very clear in group culture in the office, and if you are not included from day one, you are immediately at a disadvantage.
- People stick to the same lunch groups every day with the same conversations, and if you are outside of that circle, you are simply left observing.
- Getting basic work answers can become unnecessarily difficult because information tends to circulate only within informal groups that are never openly shared.
- Effort and performance do not seem to matter much compared to social placement within the office hierarchy, which appears to be decided almost immediately during onboarding.
- Management acts as if none of this exists, even though it is felt constantly by anyone outside those circles.
