Recently received an offer for a technical sales role at IBM in the financial services sector. Any feedback on work environment, growth opportunities, leadership team, WLB, etc.?
Horrible work environment No growth opportunities Clueless leadership team Good WLB because no work to do, no clients especially in financial services. Do you have any other options? I highly encourage you to seek others. Sales staff at IBM aren’t even highly compensated anymore compared to competitors.
I’m in tech sales at IBM now and have thoroughly enjoyed it…. It’s highly dependent on group
Are you still at IBM?
Don’t be afraid to hold out for a competitive offer… look at Microsoft, Salesforce… 10s of other companies before making a move to IBM. It is NOT good.
If you don't have any other offers, it's probably ok for a couple of years. Beyond B9 you really need to be in the culture of 'visibility' and parroting the latest strategy - which pivots every 6-12 months. I would not recommend long term.
@remachine This is good advice! Thank you very much! I may have an offer from MongoDB and VMware. Still going through interview process
