A good place to work if you have a good manager
A good place to work if you have a good manager
If you have the support of a good manager, then IBM is a great place to work. A good manager will help you grow and learn the skills you need to push in the direction you want to go.
There are many bad managers at IBM. Promotions or rotations are routinely blocked if the manager of the team you're on doesn't want to lose you. Many would rather you quit than "lose" you to another team. I've seen many colleagues be told blatant lies about rules regarding rotations. The Q2C organization in particular is the home to this kind of behavior. I've seen that CIO and Accounting are much more professional organizations.
Q2C needs managers who can manage. A new manager every 3 months who is just trying to climb over his team to his next gig isn't good enough.
