Highly restrictive environment. As a developer I had to wait 6 weeks to have admin access to my own machine. Which is an essential requirement for debugging web applications. Therefore I couldn't do my job.
USB / Thumb drives are expressly forbidden, so forget about bringing the tools you need to work.
Weekly project meetings that server no other purpose than to burn time. Nothing worthwhile ever comes out of them and they last way too long.

opressive big brother

Employees need to buy their own office supplies like pens, sticky notes, and notepads. Internet filtering is so restrictive that programmers will need to download some development tools from home and purchase a USB drive to bring it to work because the email servers block attachments. Managers are hostile and territorial towards one another.

Worst Moral

Employer lacks consideration for employee needs, work environment and work load. Benefits were reduced this past year and reduction in moral. Companies viewpoint is to add more to employees without workload consideration.
