"I love learning and experimenting with new syntax. I love creating, designing, troubleshooting and seeing my accomplishments when it is all said and done. I made that or I was a part of that. I take pride in my work. One thing I hate is when I hit a brick wall and have to spend days trying to figure something out, but when I do, victory is so much sweeter."

IT Consultant at Cal Poly SLO
in San Luis Obispo, CA

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"IT at Cal Poly is a mess and very political."

What do you like about working at Cal Poly SLO?

"Some of the people are awesome to work with, the variety of the work is."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"It'll be tough being an insider, especially these days Cal Poly hires almost everyone internally, this helps them avoid laying people off more than anything (bad budget and all)."

What don't you like about working at Cal Poly SLO?

"The politics, academics rule even if they have no clue what they are doing or talking about. IT works very dysfunctionally, not very well integrated, communication is poor, getting stuff done requires you know the right people if you want it done in a timely manor."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Allow people more control over what it is that they do. Give me chances to move up in the world, give people more chances to get to know each other, encourage the use of more campus services by cutting their costs, encourage people within ITS to communicate more, encourage ITS to not look down upon IT people not within ITS. Stop nickle and diming for every little thing, network ports shouldn't cost $150 per port to heat up especially when all you have to do is patch them. The list goes on and on."
