IBM

1. The IBM brand name carries weight in the industry.
2. You can learn if you're proactive and self-motivated.
3. There are some technically strong and supportive peers.

1. Severe manager favoritism — performance doesn't always matter. If you're not in your manager's "good books", you can be sidelined or even let go.

2. Job security is questionable — even high performers have been forced out, while managers bring in their personal references or “near and dear ones”. Job security depends more on relationships than performance.

3. Toxic hierarchy — managers act like bosses, not leaders. Decisions are one-sided and often biased.

Nothing. They are inefficient and disconnected from ground reality. No hope unless there is a complete cultural reset from the top.
