Poor pay and low standards

Software developer

Business Outlook

Pros

Standards and quality are so low that you can stand out just by not doing a terrible job.

Cons

Pay is extremely low, far below market value, and far below a livable wage in San Diego. Management is unwilling to make any significant improvements. A culture of mediocrity and complacency has stemmed from the extremely low pay. Raises and promotions are completely arbitrary, and not based on skill, contribution, or even seniority. Management complains about product quality and speed but refuses to do the bare minimum to combat it, like hiring new employees to replace ones that quit.
