Great for college grads and retirees

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Relatively lots of opportunities to learn for college grads. Very stable for people looking for places to retire at or just turn the crank for years.

Cons

Stagnant technical opportunities for mid-levels: once you do something, you do it until you die, change jobs or retire. Despite of what management will tell you, there is NO way to change assignments once you get settled in. Also, salaries are super-stagnant: in 7 years of working I have never seen someone who is not straight out of college get hired. They simply can't afford professionals.
