Pros

It was a wonderful experience working with such an understanding and cooperative team. Living on my own in a remote location for the first time was both challenging and rewarding, and my team played a big role in helping me grow professionally. The strong bond we shared and our team activities made it feel like a family with a great work culture.

Cons

The project was closed due to budget constraints from the owner, resulting in staff reductions. Although there were internal reassignment opportunities within the GC, still several employees were laid off regardless of performance.
