Why IBM PROUD ?
Pros: I have been working at IBM for the last 12 & a half years. I was 23 years old when joined back in Feb 2008, so, pretty much my entire professional career.
Back then, I was absolutely clueless on IBM Business. Today, everything around me has direct relationship to IBM.
All personal achievements I have had, would probably not happened without IBMs support. This includes my University studies and my current partner, which I have met at IBM.
Professionally speaking, well, let me try to summarize. Never had a technical background, however, IBM always praised diversity on skills and abilities. I found myself growing as a leader in different management roles at Global Technology Services. I've had the chance to learn and get to know on cutting-edge technology, strategy, business management, operations, security, design thinking, agile, project management. Probably any skill you can think on. Cause today, technology services require more and more diversity of understanding and knowledge.
After 11 years working out of Argentina, I have now been assigned to India. The cross-cultural experience is amazing. Having the chance to work for a worldwide company really makes a difference. You just need to choose the path, IBM will definitely respect and promote your career.
Cons: Sometimes big companies lack the ability to adapt quickly. This is already well-known. For IT Business Speed of shift is critical nowadays and IBM has to change the way of delivering to improve that speed of adaptability.
Strategy understanding is also a challenge as many times, the small parts of the business lack the full picture and understanding. It's a company driven by people and we people make mistakes. Communication is always a challenge in any relationship.
