IBM

Globally recognized brand, flexible working hours, opportunity to participate in different roles and work with large customers, networking.

IBM is destroying the geeky, high-tech environment and instead is replacing it with endless chains of management. I’ve seen many enthusiastic, highly skilled technical talents leaving IBM just because of the use of outdated and old technologies and a lack of technological challenges. I don’t feel like I am working in a world-leading, innovative IT company anymore. The systems I have worked on and have seen developed by IBM looked very outdated; I really can’t understand how customers are paying large amounts of money and getting rubbish systems. And the sad part is the procedures and bureaucracy have killed all motivation to make something better. And even if you are willing to change, surely nobody will recognize that.

Products are not cutting-edge technology anymore and are stuck in the 90s.

• No freedom for innovations
• Employees are rated not by their talent and dedication, but how they follow the procedures
• Bureaucracy is destroying from the inside out.

If things continue to progress in the same direction, surely IBM will start feeling a deficit of innovative people.

If you speak in binary, then you should seek a more flexible and innovative company.

Value professionals, give them freedom to innovate, and bring back talent.
