I was given an offer very quickly (24-48 hours) instead of being made to wait.
Making a difference in the product and exceeding expectations for my coworkers. However, Sub Zero made this very difficult.
General communication was poor and unguided. I was not onboarded at all and didn't even know I was on a team until several months into my employment.
I was not allowed by HR to negotiate my salary despite my exceptional skill fit and previous experience. Health benefits were confusing, especially with how to use the pretax accounts.
Energetic, driven coworkers are marginalized for older, less focused, and overworked senior managers. Grouping younger and older employees more closely together to match the synergy and workplace experience would be helpful.
I was given no direction by HR or my engineering manager. Even my corporate mentor, who had 15 years experience, was minimally helpful despite being friendly. Only one younger less experienced employee was helpful navigating what should have been provided by HR and management.
