Columbia University Employee

"CUIT is the biggest IT provider to the CU. They have excellent people working in all departments, Upper Management don't have a clue on what they doing, they hire outside help to let them know that they are doing a horrible job, fire people to show change. The CUIT org chart is a dying tree, instead of a pyramid of well staffed workers. You need to know the upper management in order to get a promotion and recognition... Negative place to stay long term, excellent place to learn new tech."
