Slow Tech, Forced Office
Slow Tech, Forced Office
- Ok salary
- Looks good on a CV
- Good work-life balance (I was never asked to stay overtime)
- Free credit for equipment when you start and renewed every year
- No bonuses of any kind.
- DEI hell.
- Bad tech: many of the key websites I use every day are painfully slow.
- Management wants you in the office even when you're working with teams overseas.
- Pay for everything in the office: drinks, snacks, lunch.
- Office is far from everything and no compensation for transport.
If a multi-billion dollar company has to even contemplate the concept of a "bottom line," you are doing something wrong.
IBM has stereotypically corporate management. Upper management is completely detached from reality and adopts an attitude worthy of Wall Street bros. They descend upon the common folk once in a blue moon to hold a presentation where they glaze all over stats and sheets that they manipulated to look good, then they retreat back in their always newly renovated offices that are only meant for business meetings and are off-limits to the rest of the employees.
IBM is not an employee-first company.
