If you ever have a manager who jokes about being a horrible manner with some weird sense of pride during an interview, don't take the job. I learned the hard way.
- purple_ducks 7y agoI went against my gut feeling and took a job at a <1 yr company(new startup/spinout backed by $$$$ org) because i'd get exposure to certain tech. Manager was (& is) a nice person but didn't instill confidence when talking about how things were planning to be. I left that job 2 years ago after ~8 months. Mentally fucked me up and it took a long time to recover from the ineptitude and incompetence in that company. I looked at their glassdoor reviews and the same complaint and comments me & co-workers made when we left 2 years ago are still repeating with people who are joining and leaving today. Never again going against my gut feeling.
- PopeDotNinja 7y agoI hear ya, and I hope you're doing better now. Working for don't-wannabe manager was not a pleasant experience for me. It took me a good couple months to decompress after that.
