IBM

Flexible work environment with great work/life balance. Management is generally reasonable, providing structure and guidance. People are capable, but not that many recent graduates.

Working with a remote team is typical and can be challenging. Management is at different time zones, which influences real-time decisions. There are too many processes to be efficient.

Not tons of opportunity for growth. Minimal salary increase for the last 3 years.

Focus on employee growth opportunities, otherwise the company will lose its star employees. As much as possible, use local management for teams and reduce bureaucratic processes.
