Worst of IBM -shoot at me

Will be joining IBM. But I have heard it's the worse company to work for. In that spirit, shoot at me the worst of IBM that you know. Like really really bad. Go scorched Earth.

Great incorrect guess my friend. I did research. It's a silly company. Don't have any other offer so will start there.

I'd work for IBM if they paid me enough

Sometimes your tier 4 is better than tier 7

Amazon scoops34 Mar 25, 2019

I heard there's a yearly lay-off

IBM bBCO58 Apr 1, 2019

Try quarterly

Amadeus Trick2g Mar 25, 2019

Forget about annual raise, bonus or rsu. What’s the point in even showing up to work there? You got to be super desperate to work at ibm.

Uhm says Amadeus. Wtf is Amadeus

I heard it’s worse than Oracle. It’s worse than oracle

Amazon scoops34 Mar 25, 2019

How so? What's so bad about these places? We need details here

Twitter tremendous Mar 25, 2019

Think of them like Amazon but reduce the talent level to 2/10 and up the cronyism to 10/10. Also the stock has 0 upside.

@cexx For someone who doesn't have another offer shouldn't be talking shit about a company. I wonder why you don't have other offers....Hmm! But on the real it all comes down to your chain of management. It's a good company to work for forsure if you're working on any of the up and coming focused projects such as block chain, ai, Watson, etc... But it also depends on your qualification and the availability of the role you applied to. There is a yearly layoff, but you should only be worried if you aren't performing. If you aren't performing any company would get rid off your lazy/incompetent ass.

The only way to get a better offer is to talk shit about one’s company

Latest round of commercials are a cringey attempt to stay relevant.

IBM mach_ Mar 25, 2019

I definitely agree with that statement.

When Amazon didn't pick Austin for hq2, they were advertising on Instagram "ibm chose Austin" or something along those lines. Thought it was pretty lame.

I think it’s like human nature. It is difficult to judge the book from cover. There is no company on earth become bad to lead one of the few areas of IT. It is a big company, there are some areas where company is leading for a long time. Figure out the your strength and if it matches with role, I do not see anything wrong.

Amadeus Trick2g Mar 25, 2019

Well for starters, how do you explain the shit tier tc that ibm pays even in their Silicon Valley campus? My friend joined two years back at 90k tc.

Forget about your frd, what was your exp related to IBM trick2g

I still have nightmares from using their internal tools... Not that my current ship's machinery is much better

Amazon scoops34 Mar 25, 2019

What's so bad about their internal tools?

IBM uhYq11 Mar 26, 2019

Notes. Even when given alternatives, people still build shit in notes databases etc. now that I’m an asshole that migrated to outlook, I can NO LONGER view my pay statements without Notes. Cause WTF. Oh, and same time can suck a bag of comets. We have options for Slack, but people don’t use them in many divisions
