Business Outlook
Pros
Surviving the abuse will give you unbelievable skills. Most of your peers are incredibly smart, competent, and talented people who will teach you all the things you didn't learn in school.
Cons
They don't tell you that "TDD" stands for "Ticket-Driven Development". The whole company lives and dies by the trouble ticketing system, but generally the accepted software engineering best practices are ignored. Since there is such an amazing trouble ticket system and nothing gets done unless it's a ticket, managers force death marches to launch awful code that is debugged one high severity ticket at a time by whomever is on-call. The attrition rate speaks for itself.
