Pros

The challenges IBM has been facing in the cloud segment are difficult and hard, but that is the point. IBM is brave to take these challenges; moreover, it is an all-in strategy. If someone likes to be outside the comfort zone, this environment is excellent.

Despite the organization's size, there are channels where you can have meaningful conversations with C-level people, and they listen.

  • Strong focus on servant leadership
  • Learning opportunities are just great; you'll get access to multiple learning portals, not only in technology but also in management fields.

IBM understands that culture is what matters when it is about a size like IBM, and they put a lot of effort into shaping the culture. As a manager, I feel supported.

  • Modern tools for the tasks
  • Old legacy systems constantly reshaped, replaced, and revamped
  • Strong focus on diversity
  • Strong focus on personal development

There are good perks.

Cons
  • It is still a huge organization and sometimes just slow.
  • There are processes that are still too bureaucratic.
  • It is a huge ship and sometimes turns slow, but sometimes too fast.
Advice to Management

Please continue to focus on people and culture because it is going to bring the results we are looking for.
