An unfortunately poisonous culture
Generous benefits, time off, and travel ability.
There is definitely a culture of superiority, arrogance, and a belief that we know something the rest of the world doesn't. What we do is not rocket science. But developers are overly valued as gods, and we forsake infrastructure, solid planning, resource management, and responsible governance. It's easy to say we're successful because we have cash coming in the door, but what lies beneath the cash is actually a quite poorly managed and led company.
Tone down the hipster, developer-rockstar culture. Run a business; run it well. Give resources to the IT team and quit feeding a narcissistic culture.
