IBM Software Developer (Backend) reviews

Managers are non technical. Be ready to get in PIP if you are not great in manager's boot licking. Managers are egoistic,non technical and career ruining attitude. Once rating is out they mandatorily have to put low rating for few people if if they work like donkey because they are straight forward with manager. My manager is non technical and even she doesn't know functional aspect of module of product she is having a team. Unnecessary unrealistic abnormal inputs in meeting just to stat that they are present in meeting. Favouritism is at its height, only favorite person gets good rating , promotion and other appreciation causes demotivation amongst team. Trust me if your manager is non tech , for sure it will cause you PTSD(Post traumatic stress disorder) Higer chances to get in PIP if opposes managers or put your suggestions, atleast negative ratings and no work.

Bureaucracy and Slow Decision-Making, Frequent Reorganizations and High Expectations and Workload
