    Worst company I have ever worked for.
    The good thingsGood products and partnership with other companies
    The challengesWorst management. More interested in making the monthly budget than the health or welfare of the staff. A person can be in hospital and the management will hassle them to get back to work.

    Working here was very tough but I did learn a huge amount which has helped me going forward. People join companies, but leave managers.
    The good thingsMarket leader with great products and a very well known brand. HR try hard to make this a place you want to be.
    The challenges100% Middle Management needed a complete refresh. Hyper Micro-management, lack of leadership, very clunky old school IBM processes and thinking. Team members very negative about their experiences. high staff turnover.

    Take the paycheck and run, focus on yourself and what brings you joy as work will not.

    It was an experience.
    The good thingsFace paced and very dynamic environment - opportunity to build well rounded skills.
    The challengesSmall teams means that you need to be multiskilled and prepared to work in the detail and at a strategic level. Depending on the area of the business the targets are high with little to no investment to provide additional portfolio to take to market.

    Glad its over!
    The good thingsWhen things are good- they are REALLY good. Performance based bonuses. Relative autonomy to get the job done. Innovation and pioneering is the focus, however strong history of IBM products helps.
    The challengesWhen things go bad - management starts to panic. Change is wholesale or not happening at all. Chinese management strategies do not gel well with regions outside China.
