Worse Than Useless IT Leadership and Management
Pros
Cafeteria in Vancouver has some good food. Other than that, not many positives. Unqualified leaders and managers drag this place to the bottom.
Cons
Lots of back handedness and toxic behavior. Extremely unlikable managers. Any hires in the past 3 or so years are massively unqualified. IT infrastructure suffers from terrible hires due to this. A technical department doesn't do technical interviews because management has no idea what they even manage. Those non technical people get immediate access to systems they shouldn't, make massive mistakes and don't document or communicate anything. This brings down every other department in the whole enterprise. Instead of admitting bad hires or mistakes, those bad apples are allowed to continue and drag everyone down. Awful HR systems and people. I've heard the US HR team make very nasty comments about their own employees out loud. Canada doesn't have to worry about this, but the US employees complain about terrible benefits. Seems like policies change that do not benefit them at all, all the time. Rules for employees that don't apply to leadership. No polices in writing because then everyone would have to follow. No raises or opportunity for advancement
