Pros

Relatively stable IT company (not very much lately but better than average).

Middle of the road in salary/benefits.

Some areas are doing really interesting work (but not all).

Cons
  • Bureaucracy everywhere.
  • Lately, I feel kind of disposable.
  • Some areas only work with really old (in tech years) technology.
Advice to Management

You should learn more about how it is down here in the trenches where the developers of the products you sell are.

And maybe take a real opinion from us every once in a while instead of using those meaningless surveys (jams) as a right to claim that you do.
