(In normal companies i.e. non tech but especially finance) I have seen many promising careers destroyed by these, your corporate life is about the same as a bomb diffuser in a war zone.

12 months and $10mil to roll out the entire system will become $100mil and 4 years to roll out half the system with hacky interconnects to the legacy systems and eventually everyone from IT to compliance will have the finger in the pie taking a cut.
