IT leadership inexperienced, disorganized - IT Employee Cook Children's Health Care System Employee Review

○ Lacks leadership strength ○ Many managers are former analysts, non-tech types, promoted from within...haven't a clue how to manage 1) a department, or 2) top-notch people ○ Turnover ○ Decisions oftentimes based on feel, emotion, hunch, rather than fact-based ○ Privileged few get to work-from-home ○ Epic conversion has leadership worried, frazzled. Recent demotion of Epic project manager indicates reactive nature of decision-making ○ Epic employees expected to work O/T ○ Limited IT development opportunities. Work mostly on third-party apps, not the place for a dev geek/rockstar. Old technology (web forms circa 2010) No MVC, WebAPI, cloud, etc. ○ No casual Friday ○ "For the kids..." mantra is lip service
