The team lead tends to be highly micromanaging and may address mistakes publicly, which can feel discouraging and embarrassing. Weekly one-hour catch-up sessions often focus more on highlighting shortcomings than on constructive development, which can negatively impact morale and mental well-being. There is limited empathy and support, and decisions such as probation extensions may feel subjective and inconsistent, leading to perceptions of unfair treatment. Under this leadership, several team members have resigned, raising concerns about the overall leadership approach and team stability.
I strongly recommend that prospective candidates speak with current employees to gain a clearer understanding of the working environment before accepting an offer.
