Pluspunten
-There's always work to be done so there is some job security - flexibility to work from home is a plus
Minpunten
- 60-80 hr work weeks are normal - "do more with less" is the staffing model, it's very difficult to clear a request for additional staff and when people leave you will end up covering their workload in lieu of bringing in a replacement - senior management has little (if any) understanding of the product offerings and the complexity behind their development - information sharing is poor, there are hundreds of databases with information but nothing to connect them all under a single search engine (it's difficult to find info unless you know someone that's done what you're working on) - Nepotism and Good Ole Boy mentality makes it difficult to get through the day, be careful what you say and who you say it to - you have to "wear many hats" by being you're own requirements consultant, developer, tester, quality analyst, project manager and unit manager; there should be a better separation of responsibilities so employees can focus on their role and deliver the best results
