Too much management to be agile and innovative
Too much management to be agile and innovative
It's a large company with a lot of different opportunities. If you choose, you won't get bored. They are also pretty good with work/life balance.
The bureaucracy is painful. Way too many project managers collecting status and bothering others doing real work. Not very agile in projects. It is hard to change positions within the company; it's easier to leave.
Cut out middle management. Find ways for faster development. We have too many VPs I don't know the names of. Outsourcing development to BRIC countries is understandable, but make sure they are more useful than hurtful to the current developers.
