      Bullies and cowards proliferate in IT department

      Pros

      Location in Milpitas is good. But this has got nothing to do with IT. It continues to be an awful place to work. No one wants to come here, and you can tell from the lack of good people coming through or being hired

      Cons

      I've worked in IT for several years and it's never been as bad as this. Middle and senior managers who have been here a long time bully others and take credit for peoples work. But nothing is done. Whenever issues are reported to the directors, they just push it back. It's so dysfunctional and depressing. We've lost over 30% of the people here and they're not replaced

      IT is an absolutely terrible place to work

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I'm probably repeating myself with all the other reviewers but it's really easy to just get by. It's a very political place. i.e people show up to meetings only when their managers are there or when there's something in it for themselves.

      Cons

      Very few redeeming qualities. Extremely poor middle and senior IT management. It's been this way for years. Attribution is extremely high. No one wants to join. The people left are low skilled and have a poor and negative attitude. It's hard to say this about my fellow IT colleagues, but they're very apathethic. No one cares. No one pushes you. There's lots of infighting and IT managers empire building. No one respects the lower level managers. They are awful in the extreme. No talent and have been here for years. Absolutely the worst place I have ever worked at

      Pros

      - Some of the people I worked with were highly competent but they are few and far between - Poor quality management will serve as a reference point for when you leave for that better job

      Cons

      - The quality of the management here in IT is really poor. It's also a small boys club that you do not want to join - Several individuals have come across into IT from the business and they are universally poor to deal with. - Ineffective CIO who absolutely no one thinks highly of - Having to work with people who show little drive, ambition or are extremely demotivated - Demotivated workforce who have been here for far too long - Increased emphasis on outsourcing
