NOT Autistic - Neurodivergent Friendly - Salesforce Technical Lead Pexlify Employee Review

NOTE: This workplace was NOT an autistic (neurodivergent) friendly place from my experience. If you are considering applying \ already work there, please consider revealing your diagnosis, so you would be more lawfully protected. 1) The immediate development team that you work with is likely to change on a weekly basis, even on a long term project without notice or considering your project best interests. 2) The management and PM team provided vague instructions and constantly used slogans and metaphors, even though I requested explicit information and explained that I don’t understand the usage of such language in the given situation. 3) The management team did not provide me with proper onboarding support, and I was left to pick up things by myself. Resulting in harsh criticism while I continued to ask for support even after passing my probation. 4) Even though I regularly asked for feedback, so that I can get explicit examples and context, I was left with sentences such as “use your common sense”, “it is a general feeling I have”, “I cannot give you details about a specific situation, it is an overall impression”. 5) I was constantly praised for picking up the smallest details during a project implementation, but was constantly told off for doing the same in social situations and communication with my peers. 6) The wider team distanced themselves from me after I misread one situation, and in a process definition meeting I insisted on clarifying words and sentences that didn’t make sense to the context of the defined stage. 7) When resolving communication issues across teams, management prepared some individuals for the meeting, by having a pre-meeting chat. This was always inline with the management point of view, and unrelated to the individuals’ communication support needs. For example, if they thought you would be on their side in an argument with a colleague, they would have a pre-meeting chat with you to ensure you are aligned with their views. I found myself on both sides of that practice. 8) Even though I didn’t disclose my diagnosis, I was constantly asked to adapt my communication style to others. This was, as I later found out, one sided. I was asked to adapt myself to others, but others were not asked to adapt their communication styles to me. NOTE: I wish you a better experience if you are currently working for this company, or wish to join. I truly hope things have changed. Please consider making your diagnosis at least known to HR, to avoid unlawful discrimination and dismissal.
