Ask HN: New job at BigCo. Everything has friction
by edmcnulty101 on Hacker News.
Coming from smaller companies and startups just got a job at #BigCo in the Bay. The one thing I’m noticing is that it’s miserable to work here because EVERYTHING has friction and takes days to get done and has to go through numerous teams and approvals just for the simplest stuff like a new VM or an SSL cert from their own in house CA. I get great satisfaction at work out of accomplishing things and this is just rediculous to the point of making me dislike working. To get anything done is emotionally exhausting. Anyone else dealt with this? Anyone have any type of jobs where friction is minimal?
