A good company undergoing transition -- making it a tough place to work
A good company undergoing transition -- making it a tough place to work
Good benefits.
Pay is OK, but a little below the local market average.
Ability to move around in the company. I've had 3 jobs in 8 years (by choice).
The company has a deep technical stack that is not matched by its competitors.
The market is changing, so is IBM, and those changes are painful (including lots of job cuts).
Management changes its major focus every few years and abandons things that were key before they have a chance to produce results.
Growth by acquisition, not by native development.
Many customers see the company as having old, outdated technology.
Pick a strategy and stick to it for more than 3 years (e.g., what happened to Smarter Planet, what about CAMS).
Stop the layoffs; you are losing the very people who can turn the company around.
