1. Just like it hires people fast, RMS is trigger friendly to fire people fast. You always have to keep watching if your back to see if you're next on the chopping block.
2. The leads and management are too busy to explain what you need to do in detail. At the same time, there is a push to get everything done as quickly as possible. So you end up in a stressful situation, continuously trying to figure out what you need to get done, with little support. Everyone knows this here. They call it "The RMS way."
3. The execs love to sign agreements with other companies, promising a bunch of work will be done, within very little time. The everyone else but the execs ends up having to pay the price. This has historically been the case. RMS's whole goal is to build as many features as possible (regardless of actual quality), so that it can be resold for a higher price.
