Pros
Good salaries, great vacations, nice offices. Nice end of year party. everyday Meals where paid by the company. Awesome people
Kontras
Old computers (CRTs), lacks of clear policies, pretended Bau teams and dev team to do all the work, and many times urgent needs collide with long term dev tasks. No work life balance, they didnt work for objectives, just needed 8 hours a day (even if you have to do errands, they told you to stay late or compensate it). The management profiles, are usually taken by people who stayed long in the company instead of "the right people for the right role". It was managed by temporary fixes, instead of long term strategies. Middle management usually took care of technical matters, leaving users with unsatisfied reply to their technical problems, and unsatisfied employers whose leaders werent around.
