Employment experience was ok
Pros: - Safe job - even in re-orgs or when your team gets removed there is plenty of opportunity to move around within the company
- The cafeteria at the Dallas location was great
Cons: Not an ideal environment for the software engineering career...
- Very difficult to do your job due to: no admin access on computer, limited access to technologies and internet
- Developers are generally not passionate, the firm does not generally encourage using new technologies and tools or "hacking" new ideas
- Continuous learning was limited to very basic (and poor) internal training videos. Very few teams had funds to send developers to conferences, etc...
- Many employees (especially on prod support) had to work long hours, my team's work-life balance was fine. Normal hours.
