Name recognition on a resume. If you do join, don't stay long; a couple of years max, then move on to some other company with better prospects.
Incompetent upper management. Executives are more interested in driving the stock price up in the next quarter to line their pockets than in planning for the company's long-term prospects.
Most senior management is completely clueless on the technical front and relies on underpaid and overworked folks in the trenches to do all of the hard work.
PowerPoint presentations are ubiquitous and long (100+ slides in a presentation are not unusual), and people spend months and months between pre-pre-reviews and pre-reviews before the final review.
Resign! Think about what the Watsons would say if they could see you now.
The initial phone screen was pretty interesting. As I shared my experience in the area, the manager also shared his experience and stories. It felt like a very casual conversation between two old friends. The actual face-to-face interview took part
My interview at IBM was smooth and professional. The panel focused on technical skills, problem-solving, and communication. They were friendly, asked scenario-based questions, and emphasized teamwork and adaptability. Overall, it was good.
All my interviewers were super cool, and from the questions asked, I was quite happy that I was going to the right team. However, there was an equally bad experience on the hiring/recruiting front. Communication was poor, infrequent, or nonexistent
