Some interesting work, lots of bureaucracy, career dominated by team

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunities to do interesting work.

Cons

So much bureaucracy, so many unnecessary meetings. Way too many managers with all needing to invent changes to justify their roles and get promoted. Excellence is not valued; ability to bring in money is only thing value -- issue is, the ability to bring in money is extremely strongly tied to what team you are in and what internal / external opportunities you are exposed to. Many people are in `dead-end` teams that never see / generate funding opportunities and hence careers are capped quite quickly.
