"Hey, welcome aboard, here's your chair, and by the way we don't have a bug tracker. Expect users to just send you an email if something's wrong." Which could be a good reason for you to leave! | |

It's an opportunity for you to decide, based on day-to-day work, whether you really like the job or not. If not, you can get out without a lengthy notice period. | |

A probation period is by far the best way to make sure someone isn't just stringing you along. And the other other way (employee leaves voluntarily): Maybe you like the work, but you're always expected to do overtime, even if you get everything done. A probationary period is the best way to make sure that long-term employment will work out. | |
