Talented Engineers, Ignored By Management
Software Engineer • Current Employee

May 23, 2020
Pros: Some very good engineers work at IBM, who are often ignored by management. People have to show their work to get recognized in this company.
Cons: So many to begin with: a lack of enthusiasm on the technical and business side. People often do their job and go home, with no excitement. Frequent layoffs and a bad reputation for their cloud in the industry. Overall, a really bad company to work for. It was good back in the 1990s, but not anymore.
