Vantaggi
- You won't actually have to produce anything concrete, there's nothing to produce and no accountability. - It's very easy to flap your gums all day in meetings and still be a top performer. In fact if you're not doing that, you're a sucker. - For some reason, money keeps flowing in despite products being irrelevant.
Svantaggi
- Pay is FAR lower than market. They basically pretended 9% inflation/COLA never happened. - Incredibly toxic culture of backstabbing and a never-ending fight for control. If your project isn't complete in six months (which is impossible), management's ADD will kick in and they'll re-org it away. - Their core products are dying or already dead. They keep trying to reboot the company in new directions but the ossified toxic culture makes it impossible. - They've had shadow layoffs for years, where they close many backfills for people that have left. That means the good people all left years ago and only the fifth-stringers are left. - LEGACY CODE EVERYWHERE! The chances you'll work with a normal build system, ANY modern tooling or on modern projects is next to zero. If my some miracle you do, you'll be constantly backstabbed so someone else can take the glory. - Your standard woke corporate monoculture. Virtue signaling is their main product. Expect no diversity of opinion. - Management is out to lunch, perpetually. The level of cash-the-check pass-the-buck is off the charts for a non-governmental organization.
