Pros

IBM Cloud gives you the opportunity to engage with a large organization with many moving parts.

Cons

Internal restructuring and client feedback do not give a good long-term look. IBM Cloud has struggled in following the largest cloud vendors while focusing on B2B, but it seems internal problems, such as a lack of actual technical leadership, might be its greatest enemy.

Going up in band also seems to be discouraged, as there is a limit of high-band employees per BU, creating a ceiling that is not clear unless you work for this company for many years.

Advice to Management

From my perspective as an independent collaborator, it seems the Leadership is more focused on making people go back to the office rather than employee satisfaction.
