Waterfall is good for developers, as you get unambiguous requirements that you just need to translate to code. Job is nice and easy.

However, waterfall can be disasterous for the organization. If a single big iteration takes a year, the entire team might be building something worthless for an entire year without getting feedback that what they're doing is not what the users want. I've been on such projects.
