The main issue I saw and suffered is the awful crteria to put people in teams, I was hired as a python dev, with some experience in data processing/big data and machine learning, put into a project where I was expected to create java api endpoints... Stayed doing nothing for a month, then due to my lack of motivation I didn't participate in a sudden morning meeting, which ended up causing me to forcibly leave the project and probably, the company too (to be seen at the moment of writing this).
Most of the persons I spoke with, pointed that their first project experience was bad, but not as bad as mine, I raised my concerns through the hierarchy, but ended up not being *the correct way* to do so. If I was another person, I probably would had stayed without tasks assigned forever, but being a team member of various startups through my career, I find that approach lame, and wanted to switch teams, since there were 2 teams looking for people with my experience, but the internal politics are pretty rigid, so they apparently are ok with me leaving the company instead of moving me to a team that actually needs me.
I feel pretty bad right now, I'm writing this a some sort of catharsis, I'm not mad at the company but I think that the last meeting I had was pretty rough, and I can see people with less experience in the industry feeling pretty bad with themselves if those are common practice, since some questioning of professional qualities was involved (thank god I have my impostor syndrome kept in check).
If I end up leaving, this will be my shortest work experience (1 month). Thankfully I don't have many monetary obligations and had a number of job offers before globant, so finding (or not finding) another job is not an issue.
