Happened twice to me now: weak product team and product definition. Engineering optimistically forges ahead and ultimately gets flogged for not delivering results. Long work hours, micromanaging, and unpleasant work culture. First time experiencing it was a learning lesson early in my career. Second time I recognized red flags but had other reasons to keep the job. Ended up just as painful as I expected.
