This could be luck of the draw. I'm at a Fortune 500 company, that isn't a "tech company", and for many years it was pretty boring. However, over the last several years certain people internally have been claiming we are now and tech company and started doing things they think tech companies do. This has resulted in a lot of work and stress, that ultimately doesn't seem to get us anywhere. They keep making us rebuild the same thing over and over again on new platforms. No one actually cares what platform it's on (it's an internal tool, and our internal customers just want reliability and consistency). But each new tech leader comes in, has us re-write on their platform/stack of choice, then they turn that "success" into a new position somewhere else, so we then get a new person that tells us to do it all again. We also have layoffs or re-orgs every 3-9 months, just to keep everyone on their toes.

I assume to escape this I need to go to a smaller non-tech company, but I assume I'd be exchanging one problem for another unknown one.
