Pros
Although USC is a great place to work and a top university in the nation , USC-ITS department really is not great to work based on my experience.
Cons
No proper planning in software development. Although they follow old fashioned waterfall approach the program director and the executive director of ITS don't at all have a great vision and proper knowledge in driving the team properly. They hired inexperienced non-IT people in to the IT team and that itself explains how poorly the team in built. During my tenure I did not see any sort of training documentation. Program director doesn't even know the importance of status meeting, on a daily basis she takes attendance who is in and out of office. Micro management at its worst.
Continue readingThank you for your feedback. USC strives to meet the highest expectations and embodies a culture where everyone demonstrates the highest standards and values. It's disheartening to read about your experience as this is in no way the environment we strive to foster at USC. Please reach out to the Office of Professionalism and Ethics at www.report.usc.edu with any concerns.
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
- nice benefits & perks - departments are decently resourced
Cons
- you suppress your individuality to keep the Trojan Horse engine running - departments are siloed, with strong hierarchies within each silo where leadership remains relatively invisible
