No longer a good company for hardware development
No longer a good company for hardware development
Interesting work with top people and technology. Lots of flexibility in work schedule. Decent pay and benefits.
No future in hardware development, as IBM moves towards strictly software. Lucky if you don't get laid off.
So obviously not much chance to advance your career. Bad morale.
They are constantly chiseling away at your benefits to save money and boost EPS to make targets.
Good luck! It's difficult managing a shrinking team.

Online assessment which had two LeetCode easy/medium problems. Then an interview with two engineers that had a mix of behavioral resume questions as well as technical find-the-bug/maybe a whiteboard coding problem.
