Bad. Getting Worse. Toxic Culture in IT
Pros
1. You get to work in a 6x6 box that you can decorate with a limit of 2 personal items 2. You get a bogus AVP or VP title for even the lowest rank and file role 3. You get to move to a new cube every 3-4 months, sometimes in new buildings, for no apparent reason 4. If you come in from the outside, you get a management role. Once you are in, you'll enjoy no advancement in your career 5. If your co-worker leaves, you'll get his/her work with no additional pay To be perfectly honest, the PTO is pretty nice here. You get 3-4 weeks to start.
Cons
The CIOO is a bully who is completely disconnected from day-to-day operations. Director-level management team is a joke. IT is completely dysfunctional, the culture is toxic and morale is in the toilet. At a recent "Town Hall", the CIO and his team read from a script and flat out stated that people are an expense and that expenses must be cut. You might be tempted to think that the increase in job opportunities here means the company is growing, but in reality it is because there is a mass exodus underway.
