Pros

The Reading office looks nice and I made some good friends.

Cons

Micro management from someone that should never have been a manager (on the IT Team). Extremely condescending and taught me nothing in 6 months of employment. On my day off the manager contacted my parents to find out where I was? I was offered no support, no guidance, no motivation. Worst job of my life

That's disappointing to hear and I have asked the regional MD to review and respond accordingly. In the mean time, all the best with your future career.
