Oh where do I begin. This company cares more about you being in the office than you actually doing your job. They don’t care if your team is in the same location or not they want you there. The assign people to be on the lookout and report back if you’re not in the office. They push their liberal BS agenda on all of the employees in an effort to change the minds of those who don’t agree with them. News flash Mike it’s not going to happen. We see through your BS. They push this BS vaccine as if it’s the savior of the world. Do some research and see that it’s not. Oh yeah and if you love to be micromanaged this is the perfect company for you.

- Extremely regressive technical culture - Decent benefits mean salary tends to be lower - Culture largely built around a model with a heavily-populated middle-management class, who primary and historically manage contractor teams, not FTE devs - As a result, strong culture of disempowering technical decision-making at the team level, and at the individual level. - General lack of middle-management with people management skills and technical awareness. - Overstuffed middle management layer leads to a lot of turf wars and fights over relevance - "too many claimants, not enough land" - which can be massively frustrating as an individual contributor. - Very little interest in doing things the Right Way, lots of interest in Being Seen Doing Things, whether you're doing them the right way or not. - Because of the above, technically skilled people are, as a general rule, not retained for very long - they either get frustrated and leave, get bored and leave, or get better salary offers and leave. - Technical promotion tracks that are *theoretically* on par with people management tracks do exist, but in practice amount to becoming a specific VP's pet and having even less influence on technical direction than you did before, and the entire parallel tech individual track is heavily modeled in IBM's old approach, which should tell you something.
