Software development manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible hours - usually able to take ad-hoc ptos Large product set for wide experience Ability to work on large projects, challenges.

Cons

There are no/minimum raises Too many groups setting requirements creating massive confusion and frustration Management lacks backbone to do the right thing Too much hand-waving 80% of people defer a request to someone else, very few true contributors Changing expectations/releases - new processes introduced which no one understands In-breeding: folks promoted from within and asked to make progressively more important decisions. People respect the new titles and do not question the clearly erroneous decisions that come from lack of experience.
