No learning from existing tech-stack, makes it hard to progress. The product is an old monolith that is hard to scale unless redesigned. Increments are poor, sometimes almost non-existent You solve 20 JIRA tickets parallely instead of solving meaningful problems/designing systems. Too many adhoc tasks, too many releases to track. Less coding more management, meetings and repeated discussions. Everyday burnout is common , even if you work 9-5.
