A bureaucratic machine with bad company culture

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

(Very) Slow software development processes leaves you lots and lots of free time to do stuff in your personal life unrelated to your job.

Cons

Your brain will quickly deteriorate as you find yourself absorbed in a bureaucratic "Borg" where you are nothing but one (very) replaceable cogwheel in a very big inefficient machine. Double digit of developers spend weeks and months on features that can be implemented by two experienced developers in a single sprint.
