“Work hard play hard attitude”
=You can do coke whenever you want but if you sign off before 8pm you’re dead to me

“Not afraid to go the extra mile”
=We rarely provide timelines or success criteria, so good luck ever getting us to consider anything done!

“Ability to talk to C-Suite” and
“Excellent coding abilities” combined mean they’re omitting a position cause I don’t know any capable engineers who should be talking to customers/partners

“Ability to function in a fast paced environment”
=We like to think employee churn is cause they’re too dumb or lazy

Job description not being specific enough. That could mean you could be asked to do something completely different.
