Pros

Nice to have my own office. As an entry-level employee, I guess.

Cons
  • completely outdated model and process for developing software
  • absolutely terrible middle managers
  • everyone is old
  • there is no innovation here
  • developers are basically mechanics, who are TOLD by program managers what they should build, and they are not involved in the design process AT ALL
Advice to Management

Sack all middle managers. These people are worthless.
