Agreed. This reads like a fish out of water experience for someone expecting a company with hundreds of thousands of employees to act not like any other huge corporation. Of course there’s going to be politics, culture as religion, infighting, boredom etc.

Perhaps off topic, but are there any podcasts out there for learning to cope with or adjust to the sorts of things this guy talks about in his blog post?

That’s a great question. I’m not sure of any particular podcast or episode dealing with this but I, too, wish I had a podcast or something to listen to to help me know what to expect when I joined my first startup. I’ll pass this on to the Software Engineering daily podcast and Developer Tea podcast.
Update: I’ve tweeted at both podcasts your idea as it’s a great idea

Is it that bold or novel?
