Here was my experience at GS, I didn't last too long:

- I was never able to get email search in outlook enabled on my computer. It was a "security risk".

- Every Monday, my Visual Studio install broke and I'd have to call support in Bangalore to reinstall it.

- Our "make" system's subtasks would segfault every 1/3 times so I always ran it 3 times, sometimes 4.

- The only way to commit code (after using an out of date CVS) was to use this second in-house utility manually on every commit revision on every file. The asshole who wrote that thing made MD.

- Our 32bit system would run out of memory and take hours to compile because Java talked to C# talked to C++ talked to Slang talked to javascript all in the same address space.
