Pros

You think you are working in a good company with people who genuinely care for you, and want to see you grow, but that isn't the reality. Frankly, every single thing that I assumed was a pro about Crossinstall turned into a con, it's so unfortunate. I always thought the culture was the best part, but it might be the worst. The view is amazing, and some of the employees are genuinely nice people. Especially, the Director of People, who actually does care about the employees.

Cons

My experience at Crossinstall was amazing, till it wasn't. Simply performing, being amicable, encouraging, and working for the better of the company is not what they are looking for. I was told when I was joining that this is the best place to start my career. That I will see growth, and will always have somebody to guide me to my path. My parents would always tell me that till I showed what I can do, nobody would give me what I want. So I worked, added more responsibilities, built resources, talked to my manager (Who never talked to me about it, and when we did have meetings, only expressed how he/she would guide me and help me, but unfortunately, this was a lie), and only felt more encouraged after every meeting, but they all just gave false hopes. It feels like I wasted a prime time of my career life here.

Pros

Great benefits, weekly lunches, amazing office and location

Cons

When I joined this company, I was told that women were invited to collaborate and voice their opinions. I quickly found out that it wasn't true. After a few times of offering insights at meetings, my superiors began bullying me and I was removed from meeting invites. I was routinely being gas-lighted by my manager and another superior who literally told me to downplay my work experience and to under-perform my responsibilities because I was making them look bad. My performance reviews turned into opportunities for my manager to berate me and tell me that work here didn't need to be good and that the reason they were at that company was because of their ego. I also have never encountered a company with such flagrant favoritism. One of my team members was a childhood friend of my manager, and constantly made mistakes that made it difficult for myself and others to do their job. My manager would flamboyantly praise them and to hide the tracks, would every week be constantly modifying the kind of work assigned to them which made our pipeline extremely confusing and inefficient. As you could imagine, it's impossible to function in this kind of setup. I was fired without warning one morning and that was it. I never thought I would end up at a company like this or that such a work culture existed. From now on, I'll do more research on the staff before accepting a job offer.
