It's a surprisingly awesome place to work. Everyone WANTS to be successful, do the right thing and have that awesome success story on their CV (resume).
The problem here is more one from up high. The CIO has decided that GMail, the iPhone, SCRUM, Ruby, Zend and Mongo are where it's at, kindof bypassing the CTO who has to manage a legacy estate that operates on AD, Oracle, SQL Server, Java and .NET.
Culturally it's really good - everyone seems to feel really empowered, they have real talent but it's a young team so they lack experience.
I'm glad I work here.
Spearchucker Jones is a character from M.A.S.H. The 1970 original is one of my all time favourites.
P.S. Curious handle.
