What is the most difficult part for you in designing said program or service?

I don't know about the book, but I think MATLAB Tech Talk about systems engineering might be a good start for you: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn8PRpmsu08owzDpgnQr7...

Part 3 is about designing a residential toaster :)

and I like it this way
These are some bad signals... but you are also being very serious. And if you are like this, it may be the wrong company for you.

On the other hand, I always assume people are trying to do good... Sometimes it may not look like it, but maybe that's because of some other factors.

just maybe:

- there are some new topics with vendors, that you will need to steer when you join, and actually it would benefit you later to join these calls.

- they couldn't set another date, but maybe the vendors are not that flexible and company will have to wait another month or so

- 4-5 meeting, it's like 4-5 hours, if you are going to work there for 6 months it's gonna dilute to nothing

- maybe he asked you to join the calls, but you can just not accept the invite, refuse, and nothing bad happens

- principal-agent problem, sometimes bosses do not know the details

- they mailed you the computer, why do you care, they can re-mail it
