IBM

Their learning platform is awesome.

Worked with some good people.

• Hard to move laterally; some managers even try to stop you or make it difficult to move laterally. Some purposely won’t put effort to help you.
• Too top-heavy. Bureaucracy. Some arrogant and complacent people/first-line managers who don’t listen to you until you actually leave, pretending nothing is wrong until too late.
• Pay is low. Below market.
• Career progression is lacking. Okay to stay at least 1 or 2 years.
• Company lacking vision.

Actually be proactive and listen to what the people reporting to you may want, instead of reacting when they leave.

Senior employees should be assigned as people managers only if they 100% want to manage their reports. Don't force people to be people managers, otherwise, you get managers who don't even bother to care and won't help those reporting under them.

Maybe take things seriously since so many people quit in 2021/22.
