Pros

I was with Terminus for 3+ years. Over the time, I had the chance to make some of the greatest friends I will ever have. Flexibility was great. Other than that.... move on.

Cons

I have never felt so belittled by a Manager in my entire life. We were constantly told to stay quiet and just nod and agree with whatever our manager wanted. Word for word - I cannot make this up. Anyone with opinions was forced to leave the company. My manager required weekly 1:1's and wouldn't show up half of the time. When she did show up to her scheduled meetings, she would use that time to tell me I was invisible to the company and I would never be promoted to anything more than where I was at because I was not "tenacious" enough. It got so bad that I had to start keeping records of my interactions with her and what happened during them. This manager's behavior has been brought to HR on multiple occasions by people from all different teams and nothing has ever been done about it. When I interviewed with another team, she came back to dangle a "possible promotion" if I were to stay, even though I was constantly told I would never be promoted. When I transitioned to another team with a wonderful manager who actually wanted to see/help you grow, I realized how toxic my former manager was. No one should have to feel scared to sit alone in a room with the person who is supposed to guide you in your profession and help you grow.
