When I worked at IBM, the pay was not great, and managers were extremely combative over raises and recognition.

IBM was actually a terrible job. Upper management consistently shits on the workers for “not being agile enough”, but the walls they put up for you to change anything are impossible to climb. It was constant finger pointing and generally bad morale. Do not recommend.

The subreddit /r/IBM is eyeopening about what a terrible place to work IBM is. Most of the posts seem to be by people trying to find ways to escape.

I also worked at IBM (Research) early in my career. Most folks I know left but some good folks went into manager/leader positions. I always wonder .. do manager/leaders get paid better at IBM (Research)? Cause the people are really good.
