* Founders emphasizes the importance of getting enough sleep and staying mentally healthy yet engineers on my team worked on weekends to keep up with workload.
* Onboarding is not structured and I had to constantly bother people to get access to tools I needed to do work (aws permissions, access to test data).
* Someone else on my team (who joined after me) did not have all the same onboarding struggles I did, probably because he had worked with some teammates previously and they took him seriously while they blew me off.
* Most technical problems are self-inflicted by the founders & their mountain of tech debt (ex: no CircleCI/BuildKite/Jenkins, lots of ignored or unwritten tests, admin dashboard full of bugs no one could figure out, crazypants data model)
* Pay is not competitive, especially because everyone's salaries were cut at the beginning of the pandemic.
