Still Trying to Find My Place (part of a recent acquisition)
Still Trying to Find My Place (part of a recent acquisition)
IBM employees I have met so far are very helpful and reasonably enthusiastic.
I have reasons for hope.
The acquisition process was not smooth. IBM didn't focus enough on presenting a clear plan and didn't step in to fill the void left by a lack of care about employees by the senior management of the company that was acquired.
Way too much bureaucracy. I worked for another Fortune 500 tech company in the past. There were 4-5 levels of management. IBM seems to have an endless supply of executives, most of them from acquisitions.
Decide whether technical staff is your most valuable possession and act like it is. Too many executives are hindering innovation.
