My negative views of this company stem from two main issues; my manager and pay (which my manager likely influenced).
Despite being with the company for two years, I made less than the other members of my team who, coincidentally or not, were male. I came with an analytic-intensive degree, a high gpa, built my role from the ground up, and created a process which optimized analysis for our team that was adopted by other offices. Despite all this, a few months before leaving, a new member of our team was hired straight out of college. Without negotiating, his starting salary was 10% higher than what I was making after two years at the company.
In addition to the pay issue, I had many problems my manager as well. Early on in my time with the company, I took on larger projects that my manager would contribute to minimally. However, he would always add his name to the project. He would often tell me he would split the workload with me. He would go down a list, dividing up the tasks. However, he would come back to me, saying he couldn’t make it through his listed tasks and would put almost all the responsibility back on me. He would then become upset when I wasn’t able to meet his arbitrary deadlines. I was incredibly unhappy with my time in the company, but stayed due to limited job prospects during the pandemic.
