Depending on the manager, you can work remotely sometimes. Other managers, not so much. Hours aren't extreme, that I've seen.

Very stingy on raises and bonuses, as others have noted.

Little career growth, low vacation total, and the corporate culture can be stifling.

There's lots of "not my job" mentality. Requests are put in and then closed without anyone doing anything to increase their close rates.

Upper management seems detached, with little concern for the rank and file.

It's easy to say that you value the employees who help make great products, but how about showing it.

Software is a collaborative process. Rewarding only the top X% creates a culture where collaboration is decreased. Why would one engineer help another with a problem when they're in competition for the same raise?

This is a ridiculous approach to compensation in a collaborative field.
