If it was new stuff, then the people doing it must not be very low at the bottom (by virtue of the org being quite shallow - such as a startup).
Even new stuff in a big company with lots of layers of management cannot make new stuff with excellence. Eventually, probably sooner rather than later, it gets polluted.
Not to mention that in a big org, the people at the bottom do not get rewarded for making excellence in engineering, if the top doesn't appreciate it. SO why go that extra mile, when a mediocre job will earn you the same salary? You'd be more incentivized to move jobs to grow your pay instead, and use this as a stepping stone.

- nercury 3y agoYes of course. You have to demonstrate that you are very skilled at building with the particular bricks they use. Don't mention anything else to show your commitment to particular brick usage.
- klyrs 3y agoYikes! I didn't want to understand the mindset after all! Thanks :)
- hef19898 3y agoGet one? Sure. Be happy with it? Propably not. I learned that the hard way, only the other way around.
- klyrs 3y agoSometimes, I daydream about being a nameless drone in a cubefarm, taking home a nice paycheck and leaving my work at work. But, yeah, the dream passes quickly because I know I'd hate it with a burning passion.
- antupis 3y agoit is fine the first 6 months then bore out hits and you will be miserable.
- chii 3y agoit depends. If you want to seek meaning in your work, then yes, cubicle farms will not give you fulfilment. But if you're just after a steady paycheque, and don't give a damn about the business, your work nor its purpose, then this is fine. And it gives you free time to live outside of work too.
