The telecommunications industry is a regulated industry, so the salary and benefits aren’t bad, but it feels like a company where people go to coast until retirement.

Before going to the interview, I had already heard that the company’s products had been treading water for years. The manager for this position has issues: when communicating, they often talk in circles, gloss over the key points, and shift responsibility. Later, during the interview, I asked about a business development strategy, and the manager’s answer was more or less the same as the information I had heard: they only said they were developing a stamp-collection rewards service, while expecting the business team to tell them what to do for the rest. It’s probably better not to waste your life.
