Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: former

large company with small organic software groups
Pros: plenty of free time: you attend several meetings per week in which you do nothing but sit there and listen.
money: they can certainly buy extra equipment for you when you need it
laptop: they supply you with a laptop immediately
no hassles about lunch break
the more important you are, the harder you work: what this means is that as a software developer, both your boss and boss' boss are too busy to keep track of you. Typically you have an assigned task that takes 4-5 hours, but you have a whole week to complete it.
Excellent pay: you get paid way more than the average software developer in Columbus.
Cons: rigid administration: you work on shared machines and it takes far too much politics to get software installed
materialism: dont expect the people at a bank to sympathize with your spiritual side.
