DO NOT JOIN THE IT DEPARTMENT

Pros

There are no pros to joining this department anymore. Pay may be decent but it doesn't outweigh the stress and anxiety.

Cons

The Chief Digital Officer from Mt. Sinai is toxic. They have destroyed what was once an incredible place to work. The culture was amazing and staff would have done anything that was asked. Since joining Northwell, that culture is gone. Poor decisions are being made out of fear of retribution impacting the quality of work. Executive's, especially HR don't seem to care. Unless you are on the Epic team, they could care less about you. The Epic team only outsiders so there is no opportunity to move up. This is now the worst place to work and the new CEO doesn't care. Also, they brought Deloitte in to replace the existing staff so most positions are being let go and replaced with consultants.
