Recently left a company where I had an awful experience as a new hire. They reposted my position naturally and I have had many people reach to me about the position and my experience. What should I say? I don’t want to talk I’ll of the company but also want to be honest about my experience.

I also don’t want to ignore the people who messaged me as well because I have been on that side eagerly trying to get a job haha.

Why wouldn't you warn them if your experience was that bad?

When folks ask about my time at pwc I tell them it was a bad fit - which is absolutely true.

I then say the objective things I felt my role at pwc didnt fit for me. Namely:

- i realized I didn’t like traveling for work
- i value 40 hour work weeks
- i wanted to be super hands on with product
- i realize i didnt want to be a partner

These items were certainly true of the group I was in and gives candidates the opportunity to weigh their own priorities against it

This is very helpful, I can share with them what I told HR in my off boarding interview since I made a conducive list of areas that I think the organization can improve. Thank you!

Do you feel like it was just a bad fit or was the company at fault?

A bit of both, I don’t think I’m suited for a fully remote position but also they have no training/onboarding process. I met with a client on my first day. Many of my coworkers who remain have had similar experiences but stay because of economic reasons.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
