Pay is not just poor and not even close to industry averages, it's down right insulting given the level of skill and how much work is required.
Forget about bonuses or even a little over time pay for a 60 hour week and whole weekends given to the company
Pay increases don't even keep up with inflation
Medical benefits with huge deductibles
Everything possible is outsourced to the lowest bidder. Poorly paid offshore workers result in constant change and no knowledge retention.
Everything is numbers driven. If it can't be measured with a number and stuck in a Powerpoint it doesn't matter to management. Customers can be mad as hell but if the metrics are good tyhat's all that counts.
Useless employee surveys which never result in any changes
The Six Sigma cult that is great for manufacturing and has no place in places like IT
What's Ecomagination?
Constant never ending stream of mandated training. Do IT people really need to learn the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act?
Typical big company office politics, turf wars and the usual back stabbers that get the promotions
Constant reorganizations that accomplish nothing except creating confusion
Real promotion opportunities are limited and take years to get
Way too many processes that makes getting every thing that much harder
Work life balance is all work, no life
