"Ask about retirements and current work force. I do not recommend interviewing for any jobs with the IS&T applications engineering dept. As they are not replacing the retired or workers who have left."
What don't you like about working at Georgia State University?
"-Culture of yes which means if the client wants it, IS&T Applications engineering says yes and developers now have more work/details to manage without adding to the workforce or increasing compensation. (For example, High level salaried developers calling students to troubleshoot things that should be sent to the help desk.) -People are leaving and they are not being replaced in IS&T Applications engineering. The only people left are the presumably safe and all they do is complain, gossip and back stab. -Lack of communication between departments.-No customer service and a culture of Yes has led to unmet expectations in a lack of trust regarding the development team.-Leads don't know how to train new employees and there is no documentation. This is unacceptable for a development shop.-Leads and management regularly come in 30 to 40 min late but expect you to be early."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Create a sense of customer service. Currently the IS&T Application Engineering Department is full of people waiting to retire and they all assume they are safe from being fired as this is a state run institution."

What do you like about working at Blue Cross Blue Shield?
"The hard workers are easy to pick out because there are so few."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"Good for a first job experience. Easy to get in, and it can only go up from here. I highly recommend contracting for the younger generations. Don't go full time; it's a trap. They're always looking for Java developers, but don't expect industry standard pay or adequate training, if any. Good for job security, as they don't fire anyone deserving since there's no accountability, apparently. Also, expect a lot of frustration with office politics and bureaucratic policies. Becoming a manager is really the only reason to stay."
What don't you like about working at Blue Cross Blue Shield?
"There is no clear definition of responsibilities or accountability to go with it. When trying to clarify what exactly my role was on the team, the answer I got on three separate occasions was, and I quote, Everyone does everything. Well, I did 'everything' for a year with little to no training or guidance, was hired one Monday too late for the annual bonus (coincidence doubtful), and got top marks on my yearly performance review. When asking for a raise or promotion with clear documentation on my salary research online, I got no feedback other than blank stares. I was hired below industry salary rates; when restructuring, I was necessarily bumped up to the minimum salary on the next highest pay scale. Management tried to pass it off as a 'pay raise'. HR lied about pay increase rules after I applied to a higher position. I was replaced by two new hires at a higher position than I was. (Thanks for not promoting ME instead when I asked.). As a developer, everything must be self-taught as there's no training or expertise, at least on the team I was on. Management is completely behind the times and knows nothing about new technologies. Getting one code change in can take months with this stupid 'change management' process implemented where others who know nothing about your project work look over the implementation plans for approval. Code reviews are non-existent, so there's no room for growth. Comp time was rarely given and must be asked for. Projects are completely mismanaged and disorganized; communication breaks down, leaving a lot of gaps in project work; requirements are changed after implementation. No one understands the big picture on how the many applications and processes work together, making coordination nearly impossible. Management folds to every business whim with no procedures in place for tracking. I will try out with this new team I'm on and am hoping for the best. Still, I'm extremely underpaid, but maybe my experience with the company is team-specific."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Be more aware of those who do all the work and those who ride the wave of stagnation. If you're constantly going to the same people to do the work that isn't even their job, or having to cover the work of those who do nothing, it's time to take notice and realize you're wasting money on dead weight. Show more appreciation and be willing to allow compensated time for those who work overtime. Stop allowing people to get away with too much for so long."
