Business Outlook

Pros

Very stable, very family friendly, the pace was usually relaxed, people were very friendly and usually helpful. Benefits were towards the top of industry standard, generally professional attitudes, very few issues with ego or dysfunctional personalities.

Cons

Very slow moving and bureaucratic, leadership was overly cautious and out of date, strong internal resistance to using "modern" web technology. Pay was below industry average for developers, most projects were delivered late with cut back functionality, and the company was mostly wedded to outdated management practices.
