A great company going in the wrong direction
A great company going in the wrong direction
I spent 12+ years at IBM, and the first 10+ were fantastic. They offered great people, challenging problems, and lots of growth opportunities. The people are still fantastic, and the problems are still challenging.
Over the past two years, there has been a lack of direction and consistent support. The leadership team says one thing and then does another. The lack of trust is horrible, and the morale is as bad as I've ever seen. When I left, I felt like I was one of the lucky ones, and since I landed on my feet, I know that is true.
Focus on your people, not just the EPS target. Invest in your people – they are what allowed IBM to have a century of success. You need to find out how to reengage them.

There were two rounds. The first round was the technical interview, where they asked technical questions on the technologies I worked on, such as Spring Boot and microservices. The second round was the HR round.

I was initially interviewed for a co-op/intern position over the phone. It was a fairly easy interview, with very few questions about my interests and school studies. I never had an interview for permanent hire, as I had proven myself to get an offer
