If you work from the EU, you'll basically be doing outsourcing for the US guys.

Working very late hours due to the Europe-US timezone difference. This fact was not mentioned pre-employment.

Many approvals are needed from very rigid guys from the US.

People from outside the team (from the US) are either too busy or too careless to answer any question or address any concern coming from the EU.

Very hierarchical org that doesn't have an apparent utility. Managers dispense of every responsibility and pass it on to the ground floor devs.

Hands down the messiest code I've ever witnessed in 6 years of my career.

Unfit hardware for the job. Hardware changes every 3 years.

They use D&I as propaganda to gain trust but are, in fact, very predatory to the employee.
