Not bad but also not good

Pros

I was able to finish on time, and thankfully, I had kind colleagues and worked at a well-known company, which made it easier when I decided to move on.

Cons

The salary was too low for the amount and type of work I was doing. There was a heavy workload, but most of it was repetitive, manual tasks rather than new or challenging projects. There were also too many unnecessary meetings.
