Business Outlook
Pros
Great colleagues, very friendly place to work. Very flexible working arrangements, flexible lunch times, working from home is common, and you can arrange to work from other locations, too, if you want. Excellent pay
Cons
Fantasitcally inefficient working practices. For example, on one 27-man month project I was on, all the coding took only 2 man months. The rest of the time was spent in documentation, meetings, on the phone. Managers seemed to know nothing about the software or about software engineering and have a very flimsy grasp of managing technical debt. As a result, spiralling tech debt was cripping innovation. Very political. Yes-men did well. Backwards-looking technologies.
