In my experience it was a lot of java infrastructure work that was very far removed from biology. It was the same sort of thing that one would do at a bank or insurance company. The pay was fine, but lower than other industries. I think this is because of the high percentage of academics in the field. PhDs in the sciences have worked for $17,000 a year for so long that $60,000 a year seems like a king's ransom.
