Business outlook
Pros
Benefits and salaries are above average. Work-life balance is good. Extensive use of open source and standard technologies. Some best practices including continuous integration. Locations convenient to train stations.
Cons
More demotions and layoffs than promotions the past few years. Arrogant senior management. Arcane business knowledge valued more highly than technical competence. Many manual processes that could easily be automated but are not. Many outdated legacy systems. Severe risk aversion that inhibits improvements. Locked-down computers. Big brother surveillance. Depressing office environment. Awful coffee. Low expectations for developer productivity.
