"bureaucracy secrecy and nothing personal" - Software Engineer Sercomm Employee Review

1 Old fashioned process of software development. Lack of build server, some builds in version control does not even build, lack of any auto testing. 2 Old fashioned development tools. 3 All code is stored and compiled on the remote overseas servers. Remote graphic mode is irritatingly slow and there is lack of copy-paste between workstations in graphic mode. The best way to edit code is via putty+vim. Simultaneously remote access can suddenly fall down. 4 High bureaucracy, two bag traders, 12 passwords. 5 Employees are constantly observed by web cameras. 6 They hire C developers but actually assign them JavaScript tasks in Web GUI. 7 All schematic and datasheets are under secret. For reading datasheets on USB-flash you can be suddenly fired. They can fire you in any time and it is written in contract. 8 staff turnover every week.
