      Even the Titanic guests thought it would be different for them

      Pros

      Sometimes the ability of the human mind to rationalize and deny data, trends, and words amazes. This is the pro of the culture there. The koolaid still hasn't worn off from pre IBM acquisition but it will, and then the sheep will all be either slaughtered or in line with no escaping the shoots

      Cons

      The leadership teams are barely managers let alone leaders and never a team.

      Lots of competing priorities, empire-building

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very progressive benefits. Household name (in tech). Opportunities to participate in interesting projects

      Cons

      Managers are too busy. Way too many meetings, making any scheduling impossible. I was let go after a PIP from a new manager. Laid out expectations in PIP, and (according to GDocs) not one of the work products was ever viewed by manager, two weekly 1:1 no-shows in the 30 days, and did not respond to one chat or slack message. "We reviewed the PIP deliverables and your performance is not satisfactory".

      Be careful - lots of quiet layoffs, no promotions and no raises

      Senior program manager, technology

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work/life balance is great, most managers are flexible and completely remote role The people are great, open and collaborative

      Cons

      The leadership is not headed in the right direction. lots of secret layoffs happening due to lack of planning and leadership. Most executives are either IBM or Red Hatters that have been falsely promoted into leadership roles due to their Red Hat tenure. The culture is becoming more and more a dictatorship from IBM and lots of blue influence. Proceed working here with caution, i would be very concerned about your job security at this company.
