Great place if all you want to do is training and more training..
Pay is good.
Great work-life balance...while you let your skills atrophy and become dependent on IBM.
Not much is expected.
Lots of free time to do lots of different things...just not work.
Skills will atrophy. Rampant politics. Everyone guards their little fiefdoms. Hybrid cloud definition is off from industry norms; hybrid does not mean all IBM software all the time! Bonus or commission is very stingily paid out, not designed in such a way that it is achievable. Forget what your offer letter says your title will be. You will not be doing the job as described – ol' bait and switch-aroo time.
IBM needs a culture change, top to bottom, much along the lines of what Microsoft did 6 years ago. This is so needed at IBM. You are assuming that everyone defines hybrid cloud the same way, and they don't. So, many IBMers define hybrid as: IBM Cloud + IBM Software + IBM Hardware + IBM Mainframes. When the reality is that when the CEO talks about hybrid, he refers to hybrid as being: Azure/AWS Cloud + Azure/AWS Software (via managed services) + IBM Software + IBM Hardware & Mainframes. This is a true hybrid offering. Running all IBM software on-prem and in the IBM Cloud is NOT HYBRID!
