IT Leadership cannot get it right

Pros

Great people at the individual contributor level.

Cons

It's amateur hour at the leadership level. The CIO lacks vision and clarity. The person leading Infrastructure has no clear strategy and takes daily orders from the CIO. The network goes down almost every day and the IT team is on service restoration calls during the off hours daily.

Pros

Weekends and holidays away from the culture (cult)

Cons

Breathtaking level of dishonesty, incompetence and inappropriate behavior without any productive initiatives. No moral compass. Poor systems. Petty, vindictive people. The recent positive reviews on this site are not real. Nobody I know agrees with those comments.
