Harris Health reviews

As with most large corporations, the District is a microcosm of society. Their upper management ranges from excellent to less than desirable. Unfortunatelly, the IT upper management staff, in my opinion, ranks closer to the latter. Management by intimidation and fear often stymies honest dialogue and creativity. Honest disagreement with upper management often leads to open hostility and/or termination. I was personally able to accomplish most of my personal and work objectives within this environment. However, I sadly experienced the demise of many good and talented employees that found themselves on the wrong side of management or happened to be convenient sacrificial lambs.

There is a lack of internal promotion from within IT. The thought by upper management is the only way to get quality is to look outside and bring the talent in. That is more costly because of the limitations on salary increases when it pertains to internal promotions. Outside talent costs more and with the current economy does not make much sense.
