Too many cuts, an old (business) mindset, bad facilities, and terrible internal tools
Too many cuts, an old (business) mindset, bad facilities, and terrible internal tools
It's extremely easy to be an outperformer. All the technology is at least a decade old, and development (due to bureaucracy and process) proceeds at a crawl. Show the tiniest bit of talent, and you'll be a rock star.
Low-level managers are pretty flexible. It's pretty easy to get approval to work from home, which is advisable because the buildings are falling apart.
The management is clueless. Nobody has the will to change anything. The internal tools are horrid. Ask an IBMer about any Lotus or Rational product. If they've ever used an alternative, they'll have plenty to tell you about.
