IBM

It's a good company for fresh graduates with degrees from prestigious universities because the company pays well and values colleagues' degrees very much. You have a good environment to focus on doing research and development. Flexible working hours, work from home, and the company gradually realizes its problems and improves its culture and efficiency.

The direction of the company is changing all the time. It recently transformed itself to cloud and analytics. These are value-added services and markets, but the competitors in these fields are also very strong, making the company struggle and its revenue also decline. That's why the growth of employee salaries is very slow. The employee benefits are also getting worse.

The learning experience in the company is more towards theory, like proof of concepts and making hypotheses and assumptions. What's lacking are those practical skills and knowledge, and real-world problems and solutions.

Although, generally speaking, the company is still making a profit, it has 20 consecutive quarterly revenue declines, which also affects the morale of the staff.

Select the right talents to be the leaders. Be trustful and respectful to talents who can do things. Be always willing to coach your employees.
