I'd like to back this up. I went from a ~6/12 company to a 0/12 company, and man is it painful. I knew going in it was going to get low marks, and saw it as a challenge to try to push it to 6/12 level if possible (a nice career highlight imho), but I drastically underestimated how taxing it would be.
The biggest factor I didn't consider: People who exist in a 0/12 system are at best willing to tolerate it and at worst have engineered it. Change within that population will be challenging, even if they all publicly claim things need to change. You end up dancing on a razor's edge of being a positive change agent and being made a pariah. All while trying to do actual work.
