I joined a company that promised me certain team placement. I gave 4-5 different preferences but just heard that I was placed on a completely different team that I have no interest in. What do I even do in this case? I feel like I can’t ask to be switched now as it would give me a bad reputation. The new grad class is small so I feel like I got screwed. Any advice?
Get another offer
Personal interest aside, if you get good at the current role will you learn something you wouldn't have otherwise? As a new grad, get yourself into the best learning situations: teams that have people doing meticulous code reviews, etc. I'd suck it up if the learning is good. If learning is bad, then bring it as the reason you want to transfer.
I’m not sure what the team environment is like, but I’ll keep this in mind
What team? Sorry this happened to you op :/ hope you decide to stay at cruise though!
In what way? I chose this company over 5 others
