Ask HN: Not enjoying working at my 1st large company, are there any good ones?
I was working at a startup before that had to fold. Luckily in the Bay Area you have many companies that need engineers. I had multiple offers from big corporations. I took up one of them. The code here sucks. There are some talented people but barring them most are "Java developers".
Do all big companies suck? By suck I mean any two out of three of the following are true:
1. Shitty code and a lot of tech debt
2. Lack of hacker types
3. No design work or challenges as everything has already been done
and you just service these parts or reuse them
Sometimes I don't get why do we need so many employees to being with.Some more things to rant about:
1. How the whole systems works is a mystery
2. May people use Git as the new SVN
3. Code review is a thing that's done at a later point or sprint end
while it may have gone live and broken things in between that
4. There's layers on top of layers on top of layers built
