Innovation no more
Innovation no more
Brand and company are great to have on your resume. Everyone knows Big Blue.
Innovation in the company is less and less; the focus is shifting more and more to cater to Wall Street. The days of IBM being a company of thinkers and great innovators is long gone.
For employees, especially American-based, every day is lived in fear that today will be your last.
Raises and bonuses, even for top performers, are below standards, if even given at all. Negotiate up front only. Newer employees from outside have remotely competitive base salaries. Once in, be prepared to live with that salary regardless of duties, position, or band prerequisites. If cost of living and above-average performance combined is worth 1 or 2% a year, then this is the place for you.
Stop robbing Peter to pay Paul. Invest in your employees, stop off-shoring, promote innovation, and give a darn about the folks that are earning you your paychecks and bonuses.

Terrible experience. The hiring manager was arrogant and difficult to work with. She used creepy psychological tactics to make me feel uncomfortable, like silently staring me for almost 30 seconds between every single question before continuing on.

I had a technical interview with the team, which was standard. I spoke with three different managers and project managers over the phone. I spoke candidly about my experience and ambitions.

I applied through their site. A few weeks later, I was contacted and had a phone screening. The following week, I had a technical phone interview. The next week, I had an in-person interview with several different people.
