I once worked in a VERY chaotic startup with near-constant pivots and priority shifts. In each case, at the time, the change in direction could be justified... but morale was chronically low, particularly among software engineers. I spoke to one who, after a year, mournfully revealed that none of the code he had written had ever shipped. He, and most of his colleagues, burnt out and dropped out pretty fast.
- fendy3002 4y agoOne year? Try two and a half years without anything shipped. It's even worse that no project is being tested until two years mark. It is really demoralizing and shows how inefficient and unorganized the company at running IT-related projects.
- Kaze404 4y agoI just left an environment like that after almost 2 years. It got to me so bad that I can't even remember what it's like to work somewhere more organized, which is why I'm excited to start my new job soon.
