IBM

They buy cutting-edge consulting companies and take them back in time a decade or two?

They give 1% raises while charging clients insane rates for your expertise?

They cut bench time in half so you get laid off quicker?

All processes take 5 times longer (raises, counteroffers, etc.).

They do not promote internal movement.

Applying internally is almost as useless as applying externally through LinkedIn or their web portal. You either get denied or never hear back.

Most companies will at least interview internal employees.

Enjoy the mandatory return to office so you can Zoom all day with team members across the globe while IBM gets a tax break. It makes perfect sense.

Everyone enjoys a good commute, a cubicle, fluorescent lights, degraded sound and video quality, and a dicey internet connection on the nth floor of some random building in whatever town you're in.

IBM's on the wrong side of history...again.
