Pros

People in the trenches are great to work with. Very Talented but they have no clue how they are rated and will very rarely get promoted. Upper IT mgmt is very calculating and deceptive - the working teams really have no idea of how bad it is. They would be better off working elsewhere where they would be appreciated, able to flourish, and work in a professional environment that accepts and encourages diversity, new ideas . The grass is greener elsewhere

Cons

IT sr managers unqualified, violate hippa laws, unprofessional, gossip about their direct reports making jokes and disparaging remarks (looks, religious beliefs , partner preferences...) no diversity, intimidated and insecure by strong intelligent females and any new ideas, manage by fear and manipulation, promotions and goal setting are a joke, yell and curse at employees threatening physical abuse, creating hostile and toxic environment, hostile and abusive to female employees, very high turnover, only feel comfortable hiring males into leadership roles. Clique of old timers think they are better than everyone-speak of how lazy and inept the development staff are, their only interest is their yearly bonus, yet they have no new ideas or know how to manage. The senior managers continually bad mouth executive mgmt .technology and tools are inadequate. The list is endless. Absolutely awful .Stay away at all costs.

Pros

Some great people work there,

Cons

Shazam is a total “good old boys club”. Don’t expect any new ideas to be adopted. There is no willingness to change.
