ever expanding workload
no salary increases!
ample bonusses.
micromanagement, 'obey the excel-sheet' to keep upper management happy.
Political BS, all favours go to the ones that can kiss buts the best.
many people scared of losing their jobs, inhibits innovation and progress.
Hardly no growing opps when you are in supporting staf
strategy- and management changes almost every year.
Started in a team of 9, by the time I left it was decimated to two and one contractor.
But then again, it is not going so great with the company, there is hardly any vision or innovation, so the safest thing to do is to cut back on your supporting staff and outsource the lot. Combined with (hostile) take overs it is the way you can still show growth in the numbers each year. Since MH was on board people got layed off in no time (26k this FY alone). Now Larry put in yet another new vision and the only ' innovation' at open world was an upgraded database. Combined with the NetSuite lawsuit my prediction is a take over by MSFT. Or is that wishful thinking? :)
