Clueless slapdash technical leadership and vision, you will be working on projects built with complexity from the ground up that become too big to fail. You’ll be working with people that have no idea how to function within a team that shield themselves and their work from any form of discussion or review until it becomes too much of a priority for it not to be released, which contributes to an atmosphere of chaos and confusion. Putting in extra hours over the weekend or working longer hours is encouraged and spun as being healthy by higher ups. Concerns about how things are shaping up are ignored and made into being some kind of 'personal vendetta' as a way to mask issues and keep stakeholders happy and oblivious. Zero transparency, you'll be at the mercy of whether or not management personally like you as reviews and goals are just a box ticking exercise.

Poor management with poor communication and no encouragement, guidance or praise for the staff who do all the heavy lifting and appraisals are a complete shambles and are as much use as a chocolate fireguard! Being remote, I always felt my job wasn’t safe and I was as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a roomful of rocking chairs. I had no idea how people felt about the work I was doing as I had no feedback whatsoever, and to contribute to the anxiety I was having, it was clear to me that they found it hard to retain their talented staff, with more leavers than the Brexit campaign. Ideas and concerns always seemed to be ignored, so it was time to move on!
