Pros

At the time of joining:

  • Healthy work-life balance: Reasonable hours and respect for personal time.
  • Team-building culture: Regular team events, outings, and bonding activities that fostered camaraderie.
  • Supportive colleagues: Collaborative spirit and willingness to help.
  • Opportunistic advancement: Promotions and new responsibilities often stem from attrition and retrenchment rather than structured growth.
Cons

Why leaving:

  • Loss of team spirit: Team events and bonding activities were quietly phased out, eroding morale.
  • Unclear priorities: Frequent changes in direction with little explanation.
  • Micromanagement: Reduced autonomy and trust in employees.
  • Stagnant growth: Fewer opportunities for advancement or recognition.
  • Declining morale: High turnover and disengaged teams.
