Pros

The name on the résumé helps those who are not familiar with what happens within the company.

Cons

The board only cares about delivering without worrying about the mental or physical health of any employee.

Low salaries and when you ask for a raise, besides being denied, you are put on a managers' 'blacklist' to be let go in the next staff cut, due to your salary being too high. They call this 'Average Salary Band Calculation'.

They don't help you with any courses, post-graduate studies, or college. You have to do it, but if you need to dedicate a weekend to studying and not work overtime on the project, the manager evaluates you poorly and says you don't want to work.

Constant use of violent, pejorative communication and lack of respect for people in lower positions.

Constant threats of dismissal or salary reduction if the project is not 'a success'.

The 'customer is always right', even when wrong, and if they are wrong, it's your fault.

Did I already mention that it pays poorly? Because it pays extremely poorly.

They make you get high badges that, in the end, are worth nothing. They waste your time that could be spent working on something for the project.

Highly toxic environment for anyone.

Advice to Management

Reavaliem as pessoas com cargos mais altos com quem vocês deixam a empresa. Nenhuma delas importa com o que a IBM Brasil um dia representou.

Não importa quantas transformações digitais a empresa passe, se as pessoas mais antigas na empresa não mudaram a forma de pensar, NADA irá mudar.
