Pluspunten
- The blackstone acqusition. Yes, that's right. So far they've gotten rid of a lot of deadweight. A SVP with no direct reports. Yea, that was a good idea! - Most groups are laid back yet still deliver. - It's the best IT shop in town all things considered. AutoZone? IT cesspit. FedEx? Bureaucratic nightmare.
Minpunten
- Ad hoc is the name of the game. No standards, at all, anywhere. That means no coding standards, technology standards, process standards, interface standards. None, at all. It's not uncommon to have a single department maintain multiple systems that do the same thing. - Every director and higher (save about 2) is clueless about technology. That's not necessarily bad in and of itself, but they think that they know what they're doing and make decisions based upon that false sense of expertise. That's the bad part!
