-Having a noisy open workspace, working less hours and having stickers on laptops doesn't make you a tech company. The job was advertised as a software engineer but ended up doing boring DevOps work, and when I needed to code I had to deal with undocumented spaghetti code(I was surprised to see this quality of code in a company like CapOne). There is no enforcement from tech leads to write clean code or provide documentation. I was surprised because the coding challenge in the interview process was written very professionally and included end to end testing.
-You'll need to go through many procedures in order to make any change in production code.
-You'll spend most of your time on endless time meetings.
-The tasks you need to work on are not clear and you will waste your life looking for answers on what needs to be done.
-Co-workers are not helpful and lazy - will take time to respond to you so you stop asking questions and won't respond at all after 3:30pm (because this is when some people stop working here).
-Tech lead is incompetent and careless. If asked, wouldn't even know how to run the app which is the core functionality that the team manages.
Man I miss coding.
