GEICO

I get to work remotely for now.

Super old, broken, undocumented approach to tech. The CTO is extremely full of himself, and they can't even figure out Cloud, so they are migrating to on-prem. The process is so broken and the knowledge is so sparse that of course it's delayed 18+ months and again broken.

Company is borderline racist as well, and I say that as a white person. They only hire people from India, actively filtering out others since they want H1-B to underpay and treat them badly. I feel bad for them. They get to overwork, underpay, and get an employee who has no option but to stay and take the abuse.

Also, teams are given old projects, then fired after a while. Some teams are given advantages or don't have to follow a process your team does, so that manager's team looks good at your expense, since you have 1000 more broken controls and ecosystems to fight through.

Bad mistake on my part coming here. Also, pay is very bad, again since they prefer to exploit immigrants than actually pay market rate.

Get rid of the CTO who is very disconnected in his ivory tower.

Force baselines and fix your broken platform before introducing new stuff dependent on this broken mess.
