Tech Org with horrible Tech
Pros: Lots of resources for research enablement.  Cool projects to work on, could change the world

Then there is the expense reporting, that a developer must have not had any help on, due to it's mechanical look and feel, let alone the redundant processes it makes you go through.

For receipts, there are columns (yay) that indicate line items, BUT under the SUBMITTED (past tense) column it is a 'Yes' or 'No'  answer...the problem is that even if it says YES, it does NOT mean that a receipt was submitted...wait, what?...Submitted = yes doesn't mean that your receipt was Submitted...horrible, horrible...we pride ourselves on cognitive thinking but our tools are antiquated, which begs the questions:
