Pros
  • Good pay (generally)
  • Retention benefits (literally any job offer and they'll throw money to retain you)
Cons
  • Benefits on par with NYC startups after years of benefits reductions.
  • Leadership has no idea what to do with talent or the company as a whole.
  • Is bleeding talent and so has instituted a "no layoff year" in 2022 but redirects technical talent to sales (there are sales position quotas).
Advice to Management

Show any type of real leadership that is relevant in this century, and IBM might stand a chance.
