After 2 years(almost to the day), i decided to leave BESTSECRET. I don’t want to dive into many details, but the main reason for this decision was that I didn’t get a promotion during the promotion/raises round which happens annually at April. I got a raise instead, which in my opinion, was too little as well. I worked hard during the last year, and i feel like my contributions were not recognized for a lot of factors(many of which, I had no control of). Another point is that I didn’t get any bad feedback from the management during the last year(and on the opposite side, I got really great feedback from my coworkers). Had I gotten any feedback and steps that I should follow to improve, my approach would be different as well. Instead, I got a very generic(bs imo) reason that “I wasn’t visible enough”, whatever that means. I discussed the situation with my manager, and although he was sympathetic to some of the points that I made, couldn’t remedy the situation.
I hold no hard feelings for the company or the higher management that decided this. I really enjoyed working at this company which had some really amazing engineers.
