Not many exciting projects.

A lot of bug fixing and dirty work.

Seldom promotion.

Some teams work on very old technologies which are going to be outsourced to India. Some teams work on non-value-generating work.

Like other major companies, playing politics is a must skill if you want to be promoted.

Some good projects were killed by mismanagement and politics.

Advice to Management

compensate those who work hard and retain talents.
