It was quite bad. A dell optiplex GX270. I remember its model number because it haunts my nightmares.
We now have some speedy workstations but for some time it was rough. We'd rarely run tests because they took so long and caused the PC to become unresponsive.

What kind of "workstation" were you provided? It sounds like your employer provided you a computer from the Windows 98 era. I'm surprised that your employer couldn't even cough up $50-100 for a used desktop PC.--

The "workstation" I was provided with didn't have the specifications to run a virtual machine inside its host operating system.Even though sometimes it's frustrating, having to work through missing dependencies and the like is a good experience. I work on a small team where both of us are full-stack developers. When something goes wrong we can only rely on one another and have to solve problems with no other assistance.Being able to scrap a VM instance or reset it surely is convenient but I feel that it prevents you from gaining some development (system administration, really) experience.
