At prevJob when we were in early stage I remember building a ton of features from the ground up which were useful to our end users. Post IPO all the late stage jokers from companies like MSFT and AMZN started coming in and I remember the torturous bike shedding and endless documentation for doing simple stupid shit like adding a single attribute to a data model or changing border radius on a button for the design system. Added literally no value for the users. Actual user issues were deemed “not important” because they were a bit complex or some PM with the right credentials but none of the empathy would think it’s low priority. Not to mention the endless self patting on the back and “psychological safety” type people who showed up that spent more time doing everything but the work. Meanwhile our poor users would suffer in their already difficult jobs and get an unwanted UX redesign instead. Honestly made me lose respect for FANG crowd. I’ll rather work at startups or my own company than work at some late stage place. What a nightmare.
