low TC no promo

IBM bbWI22 Apr 28, 2019

Medium TC, yes promo. So I guess it depends person to person. My experience has been this - for the first 6 months, things were awesome. Awesome team, a manager who advocated for me, promotion, and exposure to executives and clients. Then there was a reorg where things started to go to shit. Several of my teammates were outspoken about trying to preserve the great team and product we had before the reorg, but obviously this is IBM so it didn’t help. So basically a lot of us changed teams due to that and constant subsequent reorgs. I lucked out again I guess since my new team, product, and manager are great, and we have strong executive support which generally results in good things.

That blows. Shuffling is so confusing.

My experience has been shit. I was put into a team where most of the stuff was already done (did support work) and then after a year, I got my RA/lay off notice. I found a team within the notice and it's just as bad in similar ways. No growth, no promotion, and I feel dumber now than the way I came in because we always have an IBM way of doing things.

a company reorg because they are not doing good

Compass 905 OP Apr 28, 2019

I thought they did one like 3-4 years ago? That must be stressful for everyone.

Constantly changing APIs and product names

I had a good team for a month or two, then got re-orged 3 times in a row. Landed on a bad team but working on a cool product. Interviewing at Microsoft on Wednesday

Lots of leadership vacuum, good to pad the resume

Uber Stevenjobs Apr 30, 2019

Pad with mediocre leadership? Nah Not really.

IBM anothrAnon May 1, 2019

I mean engineering leadership. there is a ton of room for improvement and they manifest as opportunities to distinguish yourself

It has been good for me. Good tech in my team. Got a promotion this year. Though salary is not at par with faang companies but it is ok. But, yes if I get an opportunity to work in a company with better salary .. I would definitely join it given that it would have similar work life balance.
