Process
Spoke with manager from internship. They set up a on-site interview with their team for me. I spoke with the team lead and several other members on the design and verification teams. Fairly straightforward since I had already interned there beforehand, so my questions were more about my previous work at IBM.

Pros: Everyone on the team is nice and wants to see you successful (which isn't always the case at tech companies).
Most of management have technical backgrounds.
There appear to be plenty of opportunities to lead and advance, both within and outside your job description.
Having Arvind as CEO has led to some excellent decisions to give the company direction, such as the NewCo spin-off and the Red Hat purchase.
I hope to see what else he has up his sleeves to make IBM great again!
Cons: From what I can tell, there is too much bureaucracy in management. Definitely not as bad as I have seen elsewhere, but something to work on. Lots of chains of command and approvals.
Also too many buzzwords and acronyms. I get that it's the name of the game sometimes in tech, but it's nice to know what is going on behind the fancy words from management.
