Principal Technical Architect
Big company. Has buying power.
IBM bought our Skype for Business hosted division from AT&T.
We never meant to promote a Microsoft solution; we just wanted the infrastructure.
We got out as soon as the time limit for the bonus from AT&T was up.
In the onboarding, led by an employee from another acquisition, they played movie clips to evidence their dominance philosophy. Think Apocalypse Now. They even included the line from 300: "THIS IS SPARTA!"
Wake up. This is no way to win.
