Pros

IBM at its core is a great culture for learning, exploring our thoughts, and enjoying work.

IBM provides free cloud certification courses and encourages everyone to participate and learn the latest trends.

Cons

Some projects might have 90's managers who are not agile, people-friendly, and tough to convince. The promotion workflow might be complex and based on manager-employee coordination. A manager would also require to put effort for you to progress, where many of them just do plain jobs in it.

Advice to Management

The process needs refinement to identify people willing to grow, eager to learn and adopt, and rotated into projects after two years or so.

People managers' rotation should be mandated every year to help avoid being stuck with a people manager who does not help well with career aspirations or employee skill development.
