People still come here to develop skills and then look for better opportunities elsewhere. However, I'm not quite sure how good IBM is today for developing skills because employee development is no longer a priority here.
Maybe that's why the new hires are staying here shorter and shorter? New hire who had only been here three months has already left.

I had excellent Checkpoint reviews, achieved one of the higher-end Super Learner designations, and made every effort to ask for growth opportunities. Sadly, no elevated roles were available, nor were managers willing to find ways to make it happen.
I wish I knew sooner that promotions at IBM were based on who your manager knows, rather than merit. While I was sad to leave some great colleagues, I couldn't stunt my growth a decade into my FT career.
I don't blame the person on OP's team for leaving after 90 days--despite what your PMR score is, you're VASTLY underpaid compared to growing companies.
Waah waah waah See what giving a trophy to everyone created. And just wait until the Pandeminnials hit the labor force. You haven't seen anything yet
We develop them for the real world. Suck it up snowflake cup.
Young new employees don't like the toxic IBM work environment, nobody likes that. That is why they flee. It is not complicated.
Ibm was already getting those new hires who couldn't find the job right after clg.
Obviously ibm isn't/wasn't getting those with multiple offers, only in a few cases.
But it's that ibm's image in tech industry is completely tarnished and nobody who is cs/it/ee major want to work at ibm.
They do awful things to their employees including RAs (yes they layoff young employees too), no pay raises, sh-t benefits and worst managers who can't do anything if their life depended on it.
None of the money making teams work on newer technologies.
The actual question is why would anyone join ibm. I would never recommend ibm even to my worst enemy.
You must be in IBM technology?
