IT Department downhill spiral - Anonymous employee Echo Global Logistics Employee Review

IT Management consists of people that are baked in and comfortable at their job. They don't care about the engineers or about their careers. There is no formal training given or encouraged - you have to be proactive to learn on your own. With the new CIO, the mentality is that you are replaceable by consultants unless you are in management or enterprise architect. Consultants are brought in for quick wins instead of helping to staff a team. Some teams consist of one or two engineers doing the work for four people while other teams have six people doing the work of two. Favoritism is rampant like consultant being brought on full time and promoted to director or senior engineer promoted to enterprise architect. Decision on what technology to use keeps changing. Management cannot support or stick to one decision which in turn wastes company money and time.
