Lack of communication and top-down decisions
My project was great, and my work-life balance was perfect. I had plenty of time to do my job and study. There was no micromanagement from my manager or my director.
You must be prepared to deal with politics and people who think they were touched by God, as their personal opinion is worth more than data. Interviewing users is a big no.
To be promoted, you have to know more people, not be good at your job. Things change constantly. You just know when your tickets get deleted, and new ones just appear with a deadline not given by engineers.
Increase communication and expose possible priority changes earlier, even if they are a rumor, so teams can avoid engaging too much on something that will be de-prioritized.
