Balanced learning opportunity with room for improvement in transparency and fairness
Pros
the company can provide valuable learning opportunities for newcomers. It offers a chance to gain hands-on experience and develop practical skills, especially for those at an early stage of their careers.
Cons
First, the office culture could be quite political, especially among interns. There were instances of internal competition that went beyond healthy collaboration, sometimes involving a lack of trust and transparency between team members. Second, task allocation was not always balanced. Some employees were assigned relatively simple tasks, while others were given more complex responsibilities. Since performance evaluations were closely tied to task outcomes each quarter, this imbalance had a direct impact on fairness in evaluations. Third, there was a lack of transparency in feedback. When mistakes were made, managers did not always communicate them clearly at the time. Instead, these issues were sometimes recorded and later reflected in performance reviews without prior discussion. This made it difficult for employees to improve and created confusion about expectations. In addition, the recruitment process lacked responsiveness. I submitted my application and did not receive any response, including rejection or feedback, for over six months. This lack of communication can be discouraging and does not reflect well on the candidate experience.
