2.0 Anarchy Offline posted on November 29, 2006

Design by committee with conserned parties invited. However, no control on which parties should be involved, so this is up to each manager and who passes by. Very, very opinionated employees, everyone supposed to be able to contribute to any process. Since noone wants to write boring code, and there's not much pressure too, there tends to be significant internal abandonware.

I would recommend working at the company for anyone seeking experience in corporate decision making processes and for head-strong developers. Not for career-minded people.
