Pros

Great international community. You can find someone to support your career and short-term goals. You just need to ask.

Fantastic news on changes in IBM.

Adoption of the Hybrid Cloud. It's not typical that you'll find someone using just one cloud provider in enterprise.

Encouraged to train and go up or sideways in your career.

Anonymous feedback gathered by all levels of management.

Full access to all the courses I wanted and the courses I didn't know I needed.

Fully paid certifications for your current or future role.

Great hardware to get my job done. Able to purchase most of what I need through the budget.

Active social club to get you out of your shell.

Really approachable managers.

Great opportunities to expand your skills.

Cons

It's quite a process to get through for new hires sometimes. I wish it was a quicker system.

It's quite daunting in the first year to understand IBM. I think a lot of people misunderstand the opportunities or don't ask and suffer in silence.

It's difficult to find the right person in other parts of IBM when it's siloed.

Advice to Management

Adopt a better Q&A site to gamify sharing knowledge in IBM. Slack buries information, and FAQs go stale.
