]You never know what you are going to get when you start a new job. When you’re interviewing at any given enterprise software company, the interview process will undoubtedly highlight how fabulous everyone is, how “robust” and “reliable” the product is and – most importantly, in my perspective – how many “wildly successful” customers the company already has on its roster.

Almost inevitably, there’s a small piece of you deep down that can’t help but anticipate – and brace yourself for – a few surprises as you ramp into the new role.
