- Uses VB6 kind of VB (not VB.NET) everywhere. - Only technology management decides what can be done and how can be done. - Use of WCF over traditional web services was discouraged because it is "too new" - One man show. Most code is done by the same few in modular manner such that VB classes are like in excess of 13000 lines of code. - No concept of object oriented analysis and design (OOAD) or OOP programming. - No concept of testing or proper software quality assurance (SQA) or verification and validation (V&V) - Extremely low employee retention ratio. - Unprofessional ethics from HR Department. They throw free food and soda to increase retention ratio - Typical scenario is that they hire internees to get the job done then show them doors. - Some tech staff has taken control of the company by using their own code snippets in secret places of which nobody else is aware and not willing to share with anyone
