Needless to say, the working practices are similar to what I'd expect in the 80's (SourceSafe as version control, everyone locks files, Waterfall as the process, massive investment in design up front, testing is done by teams of bored people etc etc).
They are at the leading edge then... I have been interviewing candidates for a developer position not later than yesterday and it left me with a bitter test about software process and tools used within a team working...no source control within a team of 15 people (10 dev), etc... all that within the biggest isps and telco in the country. Frankly that scares me to death.
Oh, and when I want to add a tester to a development team some customers tell me, this this is not possible because it will make the cost too high and they are assuming that what developers do is free of defects as they tested it themselves, otherwise that means we don't have good enough people...mm..well.
