Good colleagues; poor managers, and very slow career growth
Good colleagues; poor managers, and very slow career growth
Great benefits and very bright people. If you are lucky and working on a reasonable project, it can be fun.
Upper management believes in its own technical skills too much. They won't branch out and won't understand new things. They understand at one level that the licensing business won't last forever, but don't actually support the people they hire who understand other businesses and technologies. The growth opportunities are also very, very limited. It's a "time in grade" approach to promotion.
You've hired bright people; believe them. Treating folks out of top universities with many years internal experience as if they were interchangeable cogs is both rude and foolish.

Applied online and was selected for an interview. I met with the department manager for an interview, which was conducted in his office. Though it shouldn't really matter, I couldn't help but notice that the interviewer and all the employees I saw

The interview process was very good. There was first a phone screen. The phone screen was technical. If the candidate passed the phone screen, then there was a full panel interview with 4 people for a day.
