IBM - destroyer of worlds (and employees)
IBM - destroyer of worlds (and employees)
- Some great people
- Providing nice snacks and coffee for employees
Some horrible management and leadership since Sam Palmisano took over in 2002.
Palmisano started a culture that was unethical, destructive, and desolated much of IBM's excellent employees.
Pathetic former leadership that believed "line your pockets" and "destroy your people" were the two most important and equally important matters.
Ginny Rometty is dealing with the aftermath of 9 years of bad leadership under Palmisano.
- Listen to the technical leaders.
- Listen to those who are engaged in other fronts, especially the cloud. Get your team members learning other cloud products.
- Learn the competition well and bring in non-biased, non-political, non-partial technical employees to start transforming and killing the red tape and slough internally.

I applied through their site. A few weeks later, I was contacted and had a phone screening. The following week, I had a technical phone interview. The next week, I had an in-person interview with several different people.
