Amazingly outdated
Pros: Beautiful campus, on the outside
Coworkers are not particularly friendly, but they are nice people.
Flexible hours
Lots of countrymen as coworkers, if you're Indian or Chinese
Cons: The ~40-year-old RDBMS code base is without doubt the worst I've ever seen. There are parts that no one understands.
Huge backlog of bugs
Office interior is depressing.
Low managerial guidance
Uninspiring work; getting to work on new development is basically a reward
Got assigned to a problem attempting to solve an NP-hard problem; could not talk management out of it, even when assisted by mathematical proof.
