People who are good at what they do, do not need, nor want to work for a big, slow enterprise. Many of the people hired into entry positions will soon move on.

People who are good at what they do, do not need, nor want to work for a big, slow enterprise. Many of the people hired into entry positions will soon move on. The ones who stay, are usually the ones that you actually did not want to stay. Therefore, at some point there will be no other solution than to orchestrate mass layoffs again. Watch out, because the fact that you have been working there for a long period of time will be used as a counter-indication for talent and ability. It is exactly the ones who have been there 10+ years that are high up the list of people who will be laid off.
- ams6110 10y agoIt's a different mindset and pace, that's for sure. But I disagree with the implication that enterprise devs are not talented. Of course not all of them are, but I've worked with very talented devs in traditional business IT shops. They worked regular hours, had families and lives outside of the office, they didn't necessarily know (or chase) the hot tech trends but they knew what they knew inside and out. They didn't have to use Google or StackOverflow to write code. They had been around for years, knew the business and the systems and could take a fairly vague requirement and deliver exactly what the user needed without a lot of discussion. They weren't blazing trails or disrupting anything, just doing solid work predictably and well.
