I work at a place that does everything you admire in the “just clicks” hardware paragraph, but our software selection process l is absolute garbage and has delivered many years of abysmal experiences for staff.

So, if you hate e.g. Teams, don’t work for someone that uses Teams without being prepared to buckle down and bear it. There’s no harm in turning down a job because they use Teams. It’ll look odd and you might not be considered in a future application as a result, even if they switch away from Teams, because “which chat product do we use” can seem a small thing to hiring managers and to other engineers. But having used terrible software, I certainly wouldn’t fault someone in a hiring context. Better they walk away than be noisily resentful.
