1 Very lengthy meetings, sometimes you will find yourself talking for hours for a fix and not making a valuable progress, you just get your time wasted 2 Very poor testing strategies in development alongside legacy code. This leads to constant issues with platform being down or a lot of issue 3 you have to be, in words of a leader, “proactive” in terms of keeping track that every single deployment happen. They will judge your sense of ownership if you don’t have 5+ tabs and a slack channel to keep track of this 4 They will pick your ideas but not giving a recognition at all and they will end making it bad 5 Leaders are okay working 16 hours per day and if you don’t make progress like them working a 9 to 5 they will make useless questions like “how come?” not to learn about you and your status but to gaslight anything you say 6 The only topic with old engineers is work, if you feel bad or sick do not expect to feel listened. They will be like “oh that’s bad” and then move to work topic conversation 7 If you feel like you’re not performing well, better start getting a new job because you will be fired at will. No warnings, not intention to make thing better for you, they got the value they wanted from you, you will be thrown away in a 10 mins call that doesn’t explain why you got fired and no chance to say goodbye to anyone 8 You will see that people are not anymore on your team but there will be no chat about it. They will not worry about the anxiety that can cause on people
