Government style bureaucracy with MBA management culture, heavy risk management, and constant growth by acquisition.

Some roles pay very well, but are inflexible and boring. I knew a guy making $180k as a contractor to be a storage engineer. His entire job was fulfilling SAN zoning requests. He ended up bootstrapping a startup just to stay sane.

they haven’t adopted silicon valley style hiring practices so a good resume is all that matters. interviews are a 10m HR screen and a 45 minutes interview by a hiring manager that hasn’t been in the ditches in 10 years. All my coworkers came from a staffing agency like Infosys or Accenture. Contract to hire. I think their resumes were all fake.
