Cons

You are left on your own, lacking follow-up from your people manager. When you need something, it's a bureaucracy to get it resolved. HR practically doesn't exist once you're in the company. At IBM, it's "you for yourself." As it's a large company, you're just one of many.

I worked with a client with very legacy technologies. I tried to switch clients, but on another client, they asked for skills that don't exist in legacy. The developer ends up in this middle ground: they don't like working with legacy, but they can't switch clients because they don't have the necessary skills. And training seems to be useless.

Advice to Management
  • Não tratar funcionário como um número.
  • Ter pessoas para orientar sobre ajudas, e não simplesmente falar para ir no chatbot para resolver algo.
  • Falar para os gerentes e recrutadores serem sinceros na hora de contratar. Simplesmente mentiram para mim dizendo que iria trabalhar com modernização de sistemas e acabei atuando com sustentação de projetos totalmente legados.
