Instead of laying me off, they tried to make me quit by pressuring me psychologically - UX Researcher CI&T Employee Review

Pros

My company was bought by CI&T, and form then on, it was downhill. The only pro was the way it was before CI&T took over

Cons

Toxic career management. I was thrown into an "action plan" in order to become a better UX Researcher. They made me read books, attend to courses and have regular catchups to see my progress. I did EVERYTHING they asked me to, and it was never enough. I was mentally stressed and tired, and they kept pushing me to quit. HR people were aware that this process was wrong, so my managers kept doing it hidden from HR eyes. I endured, and they fired me. It was a relief, honestly, and I am glad I endured, but man, that was some toxic way of firing someone

Pros

- Worked with some capable individual contributors - Exposure to client-facing consulting work - Opportunity to work on a variety of projects

Cons

- Communication from management was consistently poor; it was often unclear where I stood or what to expect next - Project management was weak, resulting in a poorly run engagement that ultimately failed - Very little notice was given when I was removed from a project - Bench period was extremely short (approximately two weeks), creating constant job insecurity - Entire US-based team on the project was eventually let go, indicating limited long-term commitment to US employees
