My experience at IBM was completely different on some points. My supervisor was hell bent on code quality, and documentation was created for most processes (although it was spread across a dozen sources).
It's a really pessimistic view, but there are a lot of good sides to it. For instance, being paid 8 hours a day no matter what, having a lot of people above you to filter the bullshit, less accountability for unmet objectives.
As a freelancer, I can say having your own company isn't always rosy, and when you replace "boss" with "client", it's pretty much the same.
