Coming from someone who just quit his job (2 days ago): I was tired of false promises by my new employer. I already worked for several years at my current job, ready to quit when a new investor and CEO came in. Based on the promises I stayed. There would be heavy investments made in our Dev team, but in the end my team only shrunk because of the lack of improvements to IT and the missing feeling for IT by the CEO (of an only online selling company). Due to the shrinkage our team was also only doing maintenance instead of creating real new products.

In the last couple of months the company was also bought by a bigger international player. Good for the company, but bad for the IT as this bigger player already has loads of dev teams in several other countries.

This was the final push I needed to quit. Fed up with the false promises and the bad outlook for my team I finally found a much better job. A decision I should have taken earlier.
