Pros
Despite the culture and poor management, there are some extremley talented people here who are great to work with.
Cons
While the change in IT management was a breath of fresh air, the professionalism is only skin deep and now the realisation for most IT staff is setting in. Underneath the misleading exterior of the Transformation programme lies the same old story that IT staff have had to unfortunately get used to. Broken promises, bullying, and poor management. It has become a bit of a running joke within the deptarment now, but the revolving door continues. The only way you can guarantee your job safety is kiss the rear of management, and woe be you if you dare speak out of line or suggest something sensible. Certain long serving bullies in the department are protected by management for god knows what reason whereas good staff are fired because 'the face doesnt fit'. Managers who have been there for years, who are not up to the job for which they were hired speak down to staff and belittle them as a means to control them. Staff turnover in the IT deparment remains high as a result. The HR department is useless and despite complaints have done nothing to sort these issue. Nobody seems to care which is a shame because staff in other departmens in One Housing seem to really enjoy working there.
