Pros
1. I worked hard during my time at the company and consistently received positive performance feedback.
2. My peers were supportive, and I appreciated the opportunity to contribute to meaningful projects.
3. I gained valuable finance experience that will help me in future roles.
Kontras
1. After returning from an approved leave of absence, I was unexpectedly terminated, with the explanation that I was “no longer a fit” for the department. This was surprising and disappointing, especially given my positive performance reviews and dedication.
2. Communication around my termination was abrupt and unclear, which added to the emotional difficulty of the situation.
3. In my experience, the current finance management team struggled with transparency and consistent communication.
4. My manager, who had previously provided positive feedback, declined to provide a referral after my departure, which was hurtful and discouraging.
