Could you elaborate? Was it a lack of good practices (source control, staging, testing, etc.) or sth else?

I was mid-senior when I changed to a research SWE job. Might be able to offer some insight on some specific problems.

But in general, each place has its own expectation about code quality and process. One of the most important skill for a SWE is to not expect anything when joining a new place, but adapt to that place's way of working instead.
