JM Family Enterprises reviews

Middle management is lacking in true leadership, consistently looking for others to tell them what to do. There are only a very small handful in IT that actually have decision making authority. Culture is very much like a ‘brogrammer’ frat house. The long term leaders have full authority without any accountability. There are very few actual effective leaders and the rest tend to be very threatened by others that are competent and effective. As a result they ‘rule’ by fear and just expect people to get in line - no real thinking is encouraged. The term that is used is ‘gravity’ - things just are what they are.

IT feels like a ship without a rudder. We constantly are shifting direction and make very little progress despite huge amounts of effort. This is strange because our ‘customers’ are essentially doing what they have done for years. It would be great if our leadership would commit to a direction and help us attain the goals. We have always had a ‘political’ element to our culture but it seems that over past few years that has become what we concentrate on rather than doing the work. This has caused the culture to significantly become more negative.
