The current 2020 IT leadership has decided that culture does not matter. They are focused entirely on protecting a hierarchy and kneecapping the valuable knowledge from past workers by sending all entry level and "associate" IT positions (the ones that actually talk to users) to India. They have also moved all IT roles with any "technical" focus to India or to a 3rd party supplier. It doesn't matter if you are a minority or a high performer with a solid track record. If your role goes, you are gone.
By only looking at the "role" they are ignoring the individuals that occupy the roles, and not seeing the intangible value that they bring as experienced professionals, women, minorities and workers with integrity and investment in AD's success.
Non-IT departments have also suffered from restructuring movements, but the lack of investment in skilled, dedicated and knowledgeable IT staff is extremely visible to everyone.
There are NO entry level positions for IT staff, unless you are willing to relocate to India. Any skills that IT leadership consider valuable will have to be earned outside of the company.
