Massive managerial incompetence goes from the highest levels to the lowest levels of management. pay not consummate with workload/responsibilities -- the company wastes massive amounts of money on projects that don't yield results and unnecessary travel expenses, all the while refusing to give decent raises for experienced and talented workers. poor salary increases. poor yearly review system. This is the sort of company where the more mediocre you are at your job and the more you suck up to management, the further you'll get. being good at your job is an afterthought because no matter what you do it is never enough. absolute and utter failure to adopt new technologies. really bad coffee.
