Get in - Take Advantage of Opportunity - and Get Out
Health Benefits.
401(K) and company match - Roth options.
Employee Stock Purchase Program.
Education/training resources abundant.
Opportunity for different jobs within the company - IBM promotes it.
Recent diversity/inclusion hire/promotion effort.
Manager heavy with self-preservation. If you don't like your manager, then hang on for a few years as they'll move on.
There's a 50/50 chance your manager will actually make an effort to help you grow. The bottom half is mostly due to managers doing as little as possible and the lack of leadership.
Only subjective top-performers will get bonus pay, if IBM offers it. The same type of jobs/work outside of IBM pay more.
Recent diversity/inclusion hire/promotion efforts have caused Boomer, Gen-X, and other minority groups to feel excluded and marginalized.
Fire oneself – layoff half of management. IBM revenue and stock will definitely go up. Rotate team members in and out of this role. Call it a captain instead of a manager.
