Depending on what part of the company you land in, the codebase may be quite legacy, unstable, and loaded with messy inheritance.

Company culture expects you to be constantly eager to go the extra mile for every little thing.

I got stuck working on something I really didn't enjoy, but I didn't feel comfortable expressing that I hated that work due to the aforementioned points about company culture. That made it miserable to show up to work and be productive.

Eventually, I was terminated without notice. There was no PIP and no conversations with my skip-level manager leading up to it, even. It was never communicated to me clearly that my employment was at stake, and I was let go with minimal severance.
