Pros

Good salary. Nice environment, campus. Madison is a very nice city, especially for married ones.

Cons

Extra hours, average working hours 45-50. Many of my friends are working 50+.

Too much stress, pressure.

Very old technologies and buggy software, a headache to deal with the 30-year-old code.

Fast development cycle, huge code, never feels like control on the code. Even 4-5 year-old people do not know code clearly.

No social life after working 50 hours.

Advice to Management

For developer positions, give people responsibility for a small part of the code.

Instead of paying big salaries and making people work extra hours and weekends, give a reasonable salary and expect reasonable work hours.
