Dice, the popular job search site for IT pros, runs regular polls, and unlike many surveys, both the questions and the available answers are grounded in reality rather than HR-inspired sophistry.
Here’s some recent examples:
Question: How would you describe the hiring process at your current/most recent company?
Response: over 2/3 (67%) rated the hiring process as problematic. 48% selected “It was hellish. HR doesn’t understand IT and has unreasonable expectations for candidates.”
Question: Would you recommend your company to a friend as a good place to work?
Response: 53% selected “Only if my friend was desperate.”
Question: What’s the best way to boost morale among IT workers?
Response: 45% selected “Respect from managers and executives.”
