There is a thick and stagnant layer of upper/senior management that wants to cruise to retirement in this company, and as a result, there are little opportunities to grow. Work is interesting if you are part of 20% of projects that use that cool tech that is advertised everywhere. For the majority of time, you will be building products and services that already exist, but the cruising to retirement management layer convinced the board to allocate the $$ to build it in house.
Analysis paralysis and indecision is an epidemic.
Tech management completely lacks diversity past associate director level. Favoritism is rampant. Disagreements with the management result in contract termination / performance plans.
