Pros

Some smart people, but they either largely give up or are spending much of their time playing political games.

Cons
  • Micromanaging management structure.
  • Hardware company that treats software professionals like interchangeable cogs.
  • Decision makers in the management chain largely do not grok software.
  • So "security" minded that you can't use up-to-date tool chains.
  • Serious pecking order issues.
Advice to Management

Hire senior people, including management, that deeply understand software and allow the leeway to fix the mess.
