People working extra hours and during weekends as a standard in many teams.
Micromanagement: top management individually pinging employees to know what they're working on and reassigning tasks, skipping the full chain of command.
Random deadlines that change at random times together with impossible goals.
Very bad practices.
Terrible infrastructure design from the root.
Any project that tries to improve things is considered a waste of time and canceled within 1-2 months.
It's basically a consulting company but only for their "product" full of tech debt.
Weak leadership: C-levels with no idea what they're doing and not listening to professional advice, pushing for tech debt and impossible/random goals, humiliating employees, dismissing achievements, not allowing for long-term roadmaps, only quick wins; middle management not protecting employees nor long-term projects, allowing and engaging in the micromanagement.
Hire new people for the C-level positions with extensive technical knowledge and good practices.
If you want to have a real product that can scale, create realistic goals for the infrastructure, hire an architect, and engage in a long-term project.
About the first interview: They ask about you. They talk about the company. They ask about your previous experience. They tell you about the positions they are looking for and tell you about what positions you could cover.
After an initial chat by phone, we appoint an interview. What was my surprise when the HR interview turned into a technical interview with no HR interviewers? It was a little awkward because the technical person didn't know how to lead the interview
Slow interview process. You meet with different stakeholders from different departments. The format was very consulting-oriented. The interview times kept changing last minute. When I met with the different interviewers, I kept getting conflicting in
