Good colleagues — the team includes several experienced and highly skilled people you can genuinely learn from.

The company expects total dedication with little regard for work-life balance — there's basically no separation between work and personal time. From day one I was expected to close 5 tasks a day with deadlines set for "yesterday," despite being brand new in a huge company with a hundred+ services and no real ramp-up time.

Management is chaotic — no clear timelines, no real planning, everything is done in a rush, and quality suffers as a result. I was let go before I even had a chance to properly onboard, with the reason given as a "hiring mistake" — meanwhile I had turned down other offers and opportunities to take this job. The tech lead of the Debit Service team is highly inadequate — priorities and decisions shift constantly with no explanation, making it very hard to plan or deliver reliably.

Rethink onboarding and expectations for new hires — people need time to get up to speed before being held to aggressive delivery targets.

Fix planning and timeline discipline across teams, and be more careful and deliberate with hiring and termination decisions — the current approach is costly for both the company and the people affected.
