Former Employee – worked at Manpower full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Some very good people to good with IF either they or you stick around for the long term. Pay seems to be higher than similar jobs.

Cons – No long term strategy for IT, the current phase is reduce and outsource what little is left from the last outsourcing. No cohesiveness or standards for anything globally, 83 separate fiefdoms, little to no cooperation between country IT organizations, everyone worried about protecting their piece of the pie.

Advice to Senior Management – Drop the catchy phrases and Industry Star stuff, no one is really sure what that means or how it will be obtained. Become a true Global company with standardization and some common systems rather than a federation of country entities.
