Pros
The team members were pretty friendly. Great culture and values. The salary and benefits were also good. My Managers were also pretty supportive in the circumstances. They seem to be a great company to work for if you find the right role.
Cons
I thought I'd found my dream job but sadly it was a really horrible experience. Although my head was turned by the great salary, benefits and flexible working approach, within a few days, it became very clear that I'd made a huge mistake. The job title did not in any way reflect the responsibilities of the job itself. It didn't involve any of the creative aspects of a communications manager and consisted only of either proofreading the product specialists' writing for grammar and spelling mistakings, scheduling their articles for the weekly newsletter or providing comms advice for their huge projects portfolio. It was a combination of a content scheduler and proofreader - not a Comms Manager. The Manager reassured me one day that they weren't expecting me to take on any big projects for the first twelve weeks and would only be shadowing members of the team whilst I got my head around the structure of business, and that I should take this time to just absorb the information I was being given, but the very next day, she asked to speak to me and said I was being given three large projects to own because someone on the team needed to focus on other things. In that moment I took a huge gamble and resigned the next day without having a role to go to because I was so unhappy, and it turned out to be the best thing I've ever done. It took me four months but I'm now in my dream job and couldn't be happier. My advice - don't stay in a role that makes you unhappy. It's just not worth it.
