AT&T

The salary is good. It's a global company, so there is a lot of potential to move around.

Lots of red tape. It's a wonder how they get anything done. So much wasted time and money.

The company is still very segmented, and there is a total lack of a guiding architectural vision. Many of the systems are antiquated, and there is no reason for it. So many things are developed with no ROI; you just wonder who is driving this train and where all the money comes from that it runs on.

There are so many managers now, you're stuck, and most likely will not get promoted.

Managers need to not only know how to manage people but also how to select talent and eliminate dead weight.

There are too many people who have no business in software development.

Managers need to fight back for what's best for the business and the customer.

I constantly see technical decisions handed down that cost the business millions with no ROI or give the customer a bad experience.

Managers need to stop rolling over and start questioning where these things are coming from and push back.
