- Criminally low pay.
- ZERO benefits (no insurance, no 401k, nothing)
- You won't be able to go a single day without hearing racist or misogynistic comments by one of the heads of the company.
- 8AM - 5PM without paid lunch
- False promises on every single aspect of your career or the growth of the company (I was told there would be a raise after 3-6 months of good performance, a new office location was promised for over a year before I joined)
- You might be encouraged to use obsolete technologies like Visual Basic, ADO.Net, and WebForms because that's what other people are familiar with.
- There was an entire week in the office where there were no less than a hundred flies buzzing around because an animal died in the shop area upstairs. There was no exterminator hired. We were given the cheapest fly swatters and had to take care of it ourself.
- Sometimes you'll be told "what" to do, and "how" to do it.
- Claims to be a startup and Agile environment, when in reality, it's just poorly managed financially and day to day. Rather focusing on improving their core product and working on effective sales, you'll be asked to work on something for a new side business for the company nearly every month. There are no less than 6 "companies" being run out of that office by the same few people.
- The A/C is put at such a low temperature for one person that you'll need a second layer in summer.
- Headphones are discouraged. So instead, you get to hear four different genres of music blasting at the same time from everyone else's offices.
- Working remotely may become an option after a point in time, but you're at the mercy of whenever a particular boss works from home that day too. And you won't know that until the day before.
