Process
I applied for the position of "Senior Software Engineer" on IBM's career website.
I received a phone interview call after a month. After the phone interview, I received an onsite interview email a month further.
The interview was very easy, with nothing difficult, and consisted of basic behavioral questions. However, when I received the offer, I noticed that the job title had changed and they had removed the word "Senior" from it.
After analyzing the offer thoroughly, including the benefits details, I realized that it was not competitive with respect to the market. Hence, I decided to decline it.

- 2.0Smart People, Terrible DecisionsSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeDenver, Colorado, United StatesSeptember 19, 2024Pros: There are some smart people here.Cons: 1:1 layoffs in the US for India hires was the last straw for me. 80% overhead/20% productive time! Executives make awful decisions that will obviously fail, but no one is empowered to prevent these disasters. I've witnessed several BILLION DOLLAR mistakes in my time at IBM! Full of managers and PMs with very few workers. All management and executives were forced to RTO and told which offices to move to. They did away with the 401k match. No promotions for remote US employees, and they were deprioritized for raises, bonuses, and stock. More RAs coming next year.
