IBM

Work/life balance, Great education benefits, Surrounded by brilliant & friendly people, A culture of inclusion, A mindset to help each other.

Steep initial learning curve, minimal onboarding (you have to figure out what you need).

Often vague expectations.

Semi-agile (like most companies, they are working through how to make tickets and evaluate results).

TONS of meetings, and which are important is not always clear.

Managers get buried in expectations; they need help (i.e., assistants).

Provide some guides (what started with badge curriculum could and should be extended to onboarding and career paths).
