Nice office but lacking strong leadership and direction

Pros

Nice office, nice enough people

Cons

Leadership is really lacking. Initiatives get added and tabled constantly seemingly because of the whims of someone higher up. Obviously there are university politics at play, but the monthly town halls show a clear lack of direction. Could do with much less filler. There are people doing great work making the university better at ITS; the leadership is not doing right by them.
