Pros
  • Flexible work hours and location.
  • Edge technology.
  • Global exposure.
  • Growth opportunities globally.
Cons
  • Poor top management (lack of vision and strategy, cascading all goals to underlying teams in continuous panic mode, pathetic management style).

  • Non-competitive salary (within market average or lower, high inflation rates are not considered).

  • Lazy and non-supportive HR (no real people development, no salary adjustment relevant to market changes).

Advice to Management

IBM Egypt's country and top management are too poor to achieve IBM Technology goals in AI and Cloud. They have very poor vision and no strategy to lead in the Egyptian market and leverage their technology and people.

They work in continuous panic mode, cascading all their goals to the underlying teams without proper strategy, executive support, or coaching of senior management.

People management skills in the management layer are very weak as well. Many good calibers left for competitor companies as a result, to escape the toxic work environment created by our sales managers.
