I do embedded work. I experienced this while working for a multinational. - A long build process and linker step that takes ages. 1-2 minutes for a small change. - Trying the change on a real device took perhaps 5 minutes. - A review process that can take days or even weeks sometimes. - There was a process that merged my change set which often failed and needs to be rerun several times - often 1-2 days were spent on trying to commit something where everyone was doing the same. - There are no unit test because some manger decided that they provide no business value. - There were no simulation tools for software be because some manger decided that they provide no business value. - Testing would be done overnight. With the right tools (unittest and pc simulation) I would be effective and could test my changes prior to testing on a real device. This was for me the bottleneck and not how long it took to build the project. I was testing code that was just C on a complex embedded device that I could have tested/debugged easily on a PC in 1/10 of the time. This was really a management problem where the management didn't understand what to do to make their employees efficient with the right tools.
