Higher pay for entry level

Still catching up in the cutting edge department

Some genuinely talented and hardworking people on the ground level in IT. Teams are often self-sufficient and capable of delivering results without much management involvement. If you get on a good team, the day-to-day work can be rewarding. The work like balance is also good.

Compensation in IT is significantly below market rate, and the path to raises or promotions is unclear at best. Management tends to lack visibility into what their teams actually do. Many teams carry the load and make managers look good, but accountability flows in only one direction. Performance management is essentially nonexistent. Underperforming employees are left in place indefinitely, which erodes morale and drives away high performers. RTO was enforced after employees were explicitly told it would not be. The architecture vs. engineering dynamic is a whole thing. There's an obvious power struggle playing out at the leadership level and everyone can see it. It's uncomfortable, it's distracting, and it bleeds into how decisions get made or rather don't get made. Feels like competing agendas rather than aligned leadership. And if your personality happens to rub a manager the wrong way, watch out. Some employees have been treated unfairly, seemingly because of personality conflicts with management rather than performance issues, which sends a troubling message about how decisions get made. The lack of trust between employees and management accelerates attrition. With better remote and hybrid opportunities available elsewhere, along with higher pay and stronger benefits, there's little incentive for top IT talent to stay.
