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.
I recently came across someone on LinkedIn, calling herself this "AI & ML Innovation Leader ". She is also pretty young, seems like less than five years work experience. My question is, why does a company like IBM have this role? Does it pay well? Does any FAANG company have this role? PS: My int...Read more
Is google becoming like ibm.. seems so far behind on every innovation and resting on past laurels.

Does any one feel denial of reality check that company is way behind in innovation, cloud and talent by CEO when asked is unbearable? I have been in IBM for couple months and it’s really hard for me to listen CEO speech. It just sickens me not only employees but CEO himself is in denial of acceptin...Read more
They used to be called the next IBM, but with cloud business were able to turn it around. I feel like that’s over now. They can’t compete for top engineers due to financial pressures (pay increase is a joke), good people are leaving and overtime this will impact innovation, products and brand. Sure ...Read more

Will the curren...Read more
Have you guys heard Steve Jobs talk about sales people running tech org ? That's worth watching. Jobs talking about John Scully and his sales background from Coke and why sales should not dictate how a tech company is run. IBM is dying, their only hope is RedHat now. Ginni is not to be blamed alon...Read more
I think now is as good a time as any to unthrone some of these tech companies. They’ve grandfathered themselves the same way IBM has done. All of their effort goes towards straying from their genesis technologies to maintain relevance but they’re doing a bad job at it, also eating competition, stum...Read more

It's difficult to create a definitive tier list for tech companies since different people may have different criteria and opinions on what makes a company "tier 1" or "tier 2." However, here's a rough ranking of some of the top tech companies based on fac...Read more
AWS still has alot of juice in it. Plenty of untapped markets that probably give us years if not decades of runway. But I just can’t help but feel the innovation isn’t there. We make a shit ton of money, but retail isn’t really profitable. AWS has high margins but it just seems like it’s not the s...Read more
I see many local graduates from Washington colleges like EWU, WWU, CWU, and WSU but they are not working for the local companies (Microsoft and Amazon). Some abuse I’ve noticed of the H1B system. 1. Teams lean heavily towards the ethnicity of the line managers. So much so that two countries that m...Read more
Google killing products instead of launching cool new things. No more free ESXi and Broadcom tightening the screws with VMware. Juniper being acquired by HPE. IBM killing off the spirit of RedHat by rising prices and removing access to source code. Smaller / cheaper clouds like DigitalOcean and Lino...Read more

What got me into tech and software were articles in the 90s and early 2000s about achievements from Xerox PARC, Cray, IBM Research, the novelty of Windows 95, the resurrection of Apple with products that came from a magical world, the space shuttle etc. There was an air of innovation, out there ide...Read more
