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.

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

Haven’t found much on this, so, I’m curious: how do Product/Offering Managers at IBM (U.S.) think about their role at such a mature tech company? Do they enjoy it? Are there growth opportunities? Does working as an IBM P/OM add weight to your resume? Does it prepare you to take on a PM role at othe...Read more

Google is feeling a lot like IBM did at its peak. Stagnant product, and “growing” profits by layoffs instead of making their product better
- when Snowflake's revenue is 500m vs IBM's 73b? - when IBM is in a thousand different product areas whereas Snowflake is a single product - when IBM itself sells a direct carbon-copy of Snowflake's product 😆
