Pros

Pace is glacial, so if you want to, you can chill.

Cons

Really basic internal APIs don't work. Like deployment and CI.

Assignments are unclear.

In Atlanta, they make you pay for snacks, like it's the airport or something.

Benefits are bad.

It's pretty clear that they outsourced a bunch of stuff 20 years ago and didn't really get the memo that cheaper isn't better. Everything feels cheap and low-quality.

Advice to Management

You get what you pay for.
