Pros
• The work was technically manageable and perfect for a junior role, providing an excellent learning environment.
• The meetings team was amazing, fostering a collaborative and supportive atmosphere.
• The manager was genuinely helpful and supportive when possible.
• The Product Owner was an exceptional person, contributing to a positive experience.
Cons
• Experienced a company-wide layoff that impacted approximately 20% of the workforce, including myself. While the advance notice was appreciated, being let go despite positive feedback and strong performance was disappointing, especially as a junior.
• Compensation was below market standards, even for an entry-level position.
