Good to have on your resume for next future jobs
No work life balance, 60+ hours is the expectation for everyone
The people are very experienced and there are a few interesting projects happening.
I have had both good managers and bad ones; te disheartening part is that there is no way we can complain about most bad ones. The hikes and appraisals are peanuts even with a great performance review; almost no career growth.
Likely will take offer from AWS and looking to start ~ May 3rd or so. I’ve heard that once you notify IBM, you lose access immediately to IBM related network and are basically pushed out the door the day of notification and can’t even fulfill your “two week notice” due to non compete, etc. If this...Read more

Guys, if you had two offers with similar compensaton packages, would you go with IBM or AWS?

What would you pick, I have an offer for AWS L7 PM Tech and a promotion as a director at IBM. The big pro for aws is salary which I don't think IBM will be able to match. On the downside the work at AWS is something that I have already done and in IBM it is in a new area (of course plus politics) a...Read more

I wonder what cloud service will they move to if they stiff Google. They had earlier refused to pay their AWS bills, lol https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/twitter-refused-to-pay-aws-bill-so-amazon-refused-to-pay-for-ads/ OCI? Azure? IBM Cloud? Some other player?
Many, many (all?) companies come to GCP solely to use its database products. This is intentional and obvious from the way GCP prices its network egress. Egressing directly from a GCP db costs 10x more than if you put a VM in between, which basically forces companies to shift their entire infra into ...Read more
AWS is the obvious leader right now with Azure right behind and Google/IBM/others also trying to get a foothold. Who do you think wins the cloud race in 10 years? #amazon #google #aws #ibm #oracle #alibaba #tencent #microsoft #azure #salesforce

Why does no one acknowledge the fact that IBM is third in the cloud business behind AWS and Azure. The media always says AWS Microsoft and Google are the 3 major cloud providers but that's wrong. Google did about 3 billion in cloud sales in 2017 while IBM did about 17 billion. Makes no sense to me.
