IBM Iteration Manager/Project Manager reviews

Still a big company, not agile enough... (they're trying).

Too much effort to plant the Big Blue Family vision in to the heads of employees - family is one and only and work is "only" work. Employees should feel good, safe and professionally performing their best knowing that they can lean on the company in terms of guaranteeing their future - I did not feel that and saw too much so called "resource actions". Too much additional tasks to fulfill in a year, think40 / badges, honestly I barely met people who took that seriously and not because it is useless but because in this region it does not really gets you any further in your career. Most of the times you have to change department / position to get higher in ranking and get better compensation, it has a negative side as well because if you get too high no department will want you to employ due to higher ranking / compensation range. I have not seen attractive motivational assets during my career in IBM, bonuses are on the level of a joke, cafeteria is one of the lowest comparing to other companies.
