Advisory software engineer
I worked on new projects every 2 years, exploring and learning next-generation technologies.
In the last 18 months of my employment, I had 5 different managers. I was purely a resource number in the IBM system.
Additionally, my hours worked per week in the last two years of my employment were consistently between 50-70 hours a week. My pay was well below market value, tens of thousands lower.
If you want to run business units like a startup to stay dynamic, you need to provide the proper pay or incentives to justify the amount of hours worked per week by employees.
Just working for IBM isn't incentive enough.
