IBM

At the engineer/developer level, it's generally a good company to work for. It has an interesting set of technologies. The local management and leads in Dublin are sheltering [employees] from the more general BS at the wider company level.

There's a good work/life balance and the ability to work from home.

This is a company driven by a non-technical exec at the top, and a chain of non-technical managers, which is resulting in a very low technical level compared to competition in the Cloud space. This is very different from the likes of Google, Amazon, etc.

The vast majority of senior technical leads (STSMs / DEs) are relatively weak. They do not exhibit any real leadership, do not have any specific expertise/technical talent, do not understand what is going on at a lower level, and have mastered the exercise of BS / politics to seduce their non-technical exec masters.

Genuine technical talents typically leave the company before they reach senior level, with rare exceptions.

It's a bunch of clowns running a Cloud like it is an on-prem software from the 90s.
