pockets of excellence
pockets of excellence
I have worked with IBM for over 10 years in a variety of roles.
There are pockets of really, really talented and great people.
Part of the benefit of working for such a large company is the ability to sync up, learn, mentor, etc., with these pockets of people.
The flip side of working for such a large company is the more common pockets of teams that are either bureaucratically challenged, stale, and/or not high-performing. The trick is to connect with the right people to avoid becoming one of these teams.
Don't become stale.
