Have you ever accepted a job offer and realized later that it was nothing like what you expected? (Yes, I'm talking about Intel.) I found it frustrating and disappointing to be in a work environment that didn't align with my expectations.
So, how can I or anybody else prevent this from happening? What steps can be taken to get a better understanding of a potential employer's work environment before committing to a job offer?
Suck it up dude. There aint garden of roses at any company. You are a worker so work to make the company and investors money.
I feel your pain and I’m in the same situation. I’ve been working on one bullet point from the job description over the past year and it has nothing to do with engineering. I’m really struggling with losing my engineering skills.
Employers can dress up the job description, culture and salary, but once you start working the job then you truly understand what the real job description represents.
Sounds like the same mistake I made with my first wife. There's nothing you can do really.
You need to call HR and quality control their response. Tell them your exhausted since you had to struggle fight and swim to the top to be the first sp--m to fertilize the egg. And that pretty much did you in. And you no longer have the energy to waste on the next great project flip/ flop.
If you don’t like it, move on!
The million dollar questions here are what exactly were the OP's expectations when they took the job offer, and did they convey those expectations with the hiring manager?
A job interview works both ways.
Life is full of disappointments - just ask your parents.
I have a feeling that life in general is just going to be a disappointment for you.
I think that before accepting an offer it is useful to ask to get a walk through or a tour of the office or facility. I don't know if this would be something that Intel or other employers would entertain. I think that you could get a feel for a place by doing this. Maybe ask a few questions as you go along. If the physical environment is a mess you can likely expect that processes and management will be the same.
