IBM Work Experiences
- 1.0Challenging Project, Bad SuperiorsInformation Architect • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesOctober 12, 2015Pros: Challenging project, say, one out of six months. I came to the conclusion, "I am all about women in tech, except at IBM." They give us smart ladies a very bad reputation. Use your imagination, then augment it by 20-fold. Being kind...Cons: Never, ever, ever be the smartest person in the room. Imagine all of those girls who didn't get into any sorority except the worst one at your college and barely carried at a 2.9 GPA. Yes, those will be your "superiors."
