Dear "New hire"
if you came to this company expecting to do cutting edge work, someone lied to you.
in many areas, we are at least 20 years behind what other companies are doing. People whom have not spent their entire lives in this company can tell you just how far behind we are. Technology, processes, company culture...its like we are 2 decades behind.
you are 100% right when you say that the culture does not seem conducive to change. the ones that disagree with that statement, are precisely the ones that will be impacted by change, because it will render them obsolete. Someone called that in another thread "experience", I called that for what it is: "complacency and incompetence".
New hire, if you want to do good work on newer technologies, find yourself another job at a different company, you won't find it here. Not to mention stability.
