* no onboarding process and this makes difficult to learn and understand the internal systems;
* unclear what is expected from me;
* leader of the team is lacking confidence and does not understand how engineering and troubleshooting processes work;
* a lot of hands-off research tasks that eat up time but do not have any real use;
* the leader of the team constantly argues about everything and demotivates any sharing of ideas;
* overcomplicated structure of the code repository. Instead of making things simpler everything was made even more complicated;
* the leader of the team demands implementation of unrealistic scenarios and quite often will leave you wondering "Does he know what he is doing?"
* the rest of the company feels rather unwelcome.
If you are reading this while researching about the company wondering if you should join the company as a platform engineer then answer these simple questions first:
* are you scared of making any changes to the existing setup?
* do you like working in an environment where every single word of yours is scrutinised and being argued about?
* are you about to retire and just need a boring job to keep you going for a few years and happy to spend time researching use cases that don't even have real use in the company?
If you answered "yes" to any of the above - look no further, this is your dream job!
