Once innovative, but now just a sales company with poorly compensated sales reps
Once innovative, but now just a sales company with poorly compensated sales reps
Still has a decent brand, benefits are still okay, and it's still a pretty good place to start a career.
Not much organic innovation anywhere; pretty much all new technology via acquisition. PBC reviews are a total joke designed to keep raises and bonus payments as low as possible. Continually squeezing teams to do more with less, which is ever harder because quality people are leaving in droves. Some people believe this is by senior management design, and there is some credibility to that argument based on the shrinkage of US employees and growth in offshore employment.
- Stop allowing the CFO to drive business strategy.
- Get a real HR department by bringing function back in house.
- Get back to original company beliefs, especially respect for the individual.

I had two round phone interviews. One was from a colleague at IBM, and the second was from the team manager. Later, they sent me an email to invite me to meet the whole team in their workspace.

This was a 3-hour online assessment, with standard LeetCode-style questions. There was also a section to construct a front-end webpage, given this was a front-end position. The interview was a single 45-minute technical interview.
