They haven't laid anyone off.
Svantaggi
In IT, almost everything. No onboarding for new people. Almost no way to move up in your or learn more in your career without going and doing it on your free time. Promises of moving up mean nothing. Most definitely not a meritocracy, although they will pretend like it is. Everything is just checking a box rather than actually getting better at what we do. Management is overrun with nepotism and people who do not have any technical background, yet they are tasked with making huge technical changes. The people that are supposed to be managing high performing engineering teams have no engineering experience whatsoever, which wouldn't be so bad if they cared to learn even a slice of it. Overall, if you are someone who likes to learn, be challenged and work in a fast paxced environment with any sort of new tooling, I do not suggest IT at ERIE.
