- There is no proper plan in place and this translates into lots of priorities change sometimes even on a daily basis.
- The proper organizational order is not practiced, so anyone with a task on hand may show up at your desk demanding to have his task done first.
- There is a high level of stress that translates itself into colleagues passing the tasks around without doing their part first, making the work inefficient and good works not recognized.
- Overtime/ night shifts / weekend work happen quite often and often without much advance notice.
- It's very possible that you learn from your colleague that you're about to go on a field trip in two days.( on a higher scale, some decisions are made which affect you, without consulting you)
- While you'll learn about the systems, you won't advance much in learning new technologies as they evolve.
- The lower level managers are not experienced and at times are not well orchestrated, demanding conflicting tasks or directions.
- At times promotions/replacements are not in the best interest of the company.
- You will be prone to micromanagement.
