Business Outlook

Pros

Good old age benefits and free coffee

Cons

A last century mentality where you are doing whatever the Manager/s command. Keep your mouth shut and you 'll be fine. Don't buy into the Agile BS to be open. Stay closed and you are safe. It's who knows who culture. Many non productive people roam around all day long just cause they are safe through friendships and long employment status. Nobody talks to you unless you serve their purpose to climb the ladder. Meaning more money for less work. Do your job and go home.
