My first surprise was realizing that all my college professors were making it all up when they said all the companies will expect you to fully know everything about the language you are coding in and that you can't be googling things or using stack overflow at a job. Found out that was a lie real quick lol.
But once at the job finding out we didn't really have coding standards and seeing how the same things were done differently just depending on where you were looking was the biggest surprise for me. I thought the code in a big company would be much more tight and clean cut.
Biggest struggle for me though was going from working on a college/personal project that consisted of 5 database tables, and maybe 4 code files to working on something that had thousands and thousands of files and database tables.
