Think three times about working here
Excellent pay and benefits. The free soda and snacks are nice, and the annual summer party is a treat. You also get free admission and/or discounts to a lot of good places.
You not only write software, but you are expected to fully own all aspects of it. That means you configure it, deploy it, support it, etc. (24/7).
You are expected to produce software very, very quickly, but are denigrated if it does not meet future (and unplanned) demand.
Terrible management who have a strong tendency to micromanage. A truly surprising amount of bureaucracy and politics.
Only certain groups are expected to develop infrastructure; everyone else is supposed to just bang applications together. They do not use Boost!
Outside of the 'blessed' infrastructure groups, stop hiring anyone with any form of a software background to build applications. The entire culture and process are built around non-software professionals. You would get more mileage from History majors.
