I'm a UW grad as well working for another behemoth of a software company. We have the same common evils of legacy software where weeks are spent triaging bugs and shipping stable code. But I guess what I dislike the most is the stack ranking system. Do all large software shops have stack ranking? I ask HN this as I'll honestly skip any company now that uses stack ranking as a measure of performance. Not sure about the rest of you but I find it to be incredibly detrimental to team work, people start hoarding techniques and skills in order to get ahead. The bus factor of the team shoots up. The work place environment just feels adversarial. Its just quite sickening, but maybe I'm just very naive.
