Clock in when you arrive, take responsibility when you leave. They tell you that every day consists of eight hours of assigned work; if you can't finish it, that's your problem. Then, when the assigned work exceeds eight hours, they tell you it's because they think highly of you. The people who assign the hours may not necessarily know how to program. The old-timers have plenty of money and free time, and are also useless. If you don't want to fight a long-term war, don't come. The company values consultants and salespeople; when it comes to programmers, they simply don't care about you. The year-end banquet is always just one month's salary. Every year, everyone is expected to share the burden during difficult times. Pay raises are small. The procedures are made very explicit, and are extremely troublesome. In short: new computers at the bottom.
