Clueless Management and No Vision - Network Engineer IHG Hotels and Resorts Employee Review

Pros

Plenty of good technical folks to work with and a big network to work on. A few good managers at the lower levels.

Cons

Management was, and from what I hear still is, clueless. The words "we're not an IT company" were heard more than once in the data center. A complete lack of vision that caused frequent references to rudderless ships and monkeys with footballs.

Thanks for your review. We did recognise the need to have more technically focused people within our teams, making those important decisions on IT systems. We also agree that a successful and happy IT team is crucial to any successful business. For these reasons, we made a number of leadership changes last year and this has helped create a renewed focus on our IT infrastructure stability and capability improvements. We’ve also made investments in our infrastructure hardware, internal technical operations and engineering teams. This has all helped us to implement standardized deployments and attend to infrastructure stabilization. As you can see, we do value your feedback as it helps us to make IHG a happy and productive place to work. Regards Chris

Pros

Great place to work. At times work can seem chaotic with too many things going on at once but overall, the employees make the work environment and most everyone I worked with were incredible individuals to work with.

Cons

Lot of changes happening all the time which I guess is to be expected but can sometimes be unorganized and chaotic at times. It really depends on the leadership.
