Amazing colleagues, reasonable work expectations, poor leadership
Amazing colleagues, reasonable work expectations, poor leadership
Fantastic work environment. Employees are professional top to bottom, and expectations were reasonable and always well-defined.
During my four years at IBM, I had three different managers. While this isn't necessarily a con, each manager led in a similar, formulaic manner. This would lead to inconsistent delivery on business objectives.
In my opinion, the management teams lack much technical experience, allowing clients and/or executives to provide poorly defined objectives, make frequent changes to objectives, and even set unrealistic objectives.
I believe our team would be significantly more productive if the leadership teams had some technical experience, which ideally would manifest in more concrete, informed objectives.
