My company is going through a major outsourcing process, as most traditional non-IT companies do these days. After this is done more than half of the IT staff will be sold to an IT consulting company who will be providing support and consulting to my company.
Having been in the IT department of a traditional company for so long, many people wonder about the work culture and career path in an IT company that wants to increase its market share in BPO. We are hoping that in an IT company whereIT skills are core competency, we would have a better career path and more opportunities. Where as in a traditional company IT deparment is always second to Sales, marketing and R&D. Has anyone gone through similar merger and acquisition? How do youfeel about the different atmosphere and the adjustment needed?
