UPMC reviews

UPMC likes to tell everyone during orientation that if you want to go back to school your department will work with you to hell you achieve that goal. Becauss UPMC "cares". Biggest lie ever. I signed up for classes after getting a payment advance from UPMC for tuition. My supervisors refused to work with me on any sort of schedule. I had to cancel my classes becaue of this. I was looking to go for Surg Tech. And the surg tech class is only offered once at a certain time. The department refuses to work with me. They also like to act like this position id a stepping stone and you can transfer to another department after a year. This is also false. They trap you here.

Most of that good talent is gone or leaving and is being replaced mostly by college grads. Management is rude and disrespectful, openly belittling them and their work. People are given little or no warning of important changes to their jobs (moving to a new team, location changes, new boss, etc). There is no development/advancement opportunities for most (conferences, classes, promotions, etc). Senior management is directionless, constantly chasing some new big idea. Focus is on doctored ROIs and revenue instead of useful products or patient care. Senior management either has no experience managing software projects or has antiquated notions of how to manage. The solution to all problems is usually more middle management, but most of the middle management is either too busy engaging in or hiding from the horrendous politics to be useful to anyone. The environment is toxic and chaotic.
