From your experience, what are the top 3 red flags on a company/project?

I'm leaving my current company soon, I've seen enough startups failing and learned how to say goodbye before things start going really bad. Yeah, startups are a risk, sometimes we give it a shot and it works, sometimes it doesn't and I'm honestly at a point in my career where I need different types of challenges.

That being said, my top 3 that might be obvious to a lot of people, but most tend to ignore it:

- Pivoting all the time

- High turnover (this goes to every single company out there lol)

- Tech leadership who couldn't care less about scalability

edit: I’ll add an extra one, a friend had to serve food at s company party for clients (over 300 people) because the owners thought this was team work.
