The interview process alone took several months and was painfully slow. Throughout the process and after I joined the company, I learned that the company had misled me about what I would consider to be key facts, including the range of compensation for the role, the company history around paying out bonuses, and why the role I was hired for was open (which was represented to me as a newly created role rather than a backfill for someone who left the company after just a few months).
My manager seemed to have little to no prior management experience and was a micromanager, my on-boarding was non-existent, and I felt the work environment to be hostile and toxic (this was my only experience where I witnessed leadership actively peer pressure employees to drink alcohol during work hours) and leadership left me with little to no confidence in their ability to successfully position the company in the very competitive market.
