IBM

It's a big company, with dozens of departments and a well-structured organization. We have easy access to higher-level managers, and they have a genuine behavior of help (even if the necessity to scale questions is more frequent than should be).

IBM allows you to change your career area and stimulates continuous growth, which is nice. Time is flexible in most of the projects, and the managers mind the mental health and family matters.

There's some excess in governance and control policies, and a lot of time is spent in governance tools and calls. Salary is at the market average, but a big company, with big clients and contracts, should pay above that, like some other blue chips. I feel I'm missing the opportunity to work for international clients with multi-country teams, as other consulting companies do. Everything is regionalized. The same applies to the opportunity of a country change; it's very rare, which is frustrating for a company that has such large leverage across the world. In general, I feel IBM needs to modernize its governance in the same innovative way we work technically every day.

In general, I feel IBM needs to modernize the governance in the same innovative way we work technically every day. It's too traditional and time-consuming in everyday work.

Create some global consulting teams for international customers would be a great experience for the employee (doesn't exist in LA, don't know other regions).
