Let's see (wow, is it 30 years already?)

- I worked on C code, it was nicely logically divided into libraries and folders and you could build one folder at a time to save time.

- I was still young and not exposed to processes but there were signs (paper signs) in the corridors about RAD (Rapid application development) and QA was a separate department, only my manager talked to them.

- Compensation was rather good and very few years afterwards it become even better

- WLB was non existent, but again I was young and didn't care

Things were simpler, I knew the code down to which bits the CPU flipped, debuggers used primitive DOS GUIs and source control was something we considered starting using.
