This job is exhausting, but at least the company name still carries weight on a resume. I’ll endure it a little longer for the sake of future opportunities.

wrong, ibm on a resume is not good. speaking from experience 100+ applications
Speak to clients and see if the IBM name carries weight.. I was on the inside for a long time, when I would indicate my role to a client they all wanted to talk, until they heard where I worked. Now I work outside IBM and the interactions with clients is so much more interactive.
Don't kid yourself. I worked for IBM for 8 years and let me tell ya, nobody out there cared that it was on my resume.
is the Baton Rouge CIC doing layoffs?
Is that you, Nickel ?
Can't get your story straight as usual ? So you send some HR schmuck in India on an errand to write a s-b story for you ?
You are one pathetic IBM HR VP. Not much better than Jon Caddyshack of IBM Marketing who can't even market lemonade.

I agree with your comment. Working for IBM should a last resort solution for young people ( new grads ...). If a young person is duped into working for IBM US, remember that IBM can spend the same amount in India and get 5 workers at least.
Oh really ?? where does the IBM name carry weight these days for future opportunities ?
In some slum in India, or some Third World country in Sub-Saharan Africa ?
The IBM name has no value in most big companies unless you have key skills as in mainframes. One can find cloud folks - a dime for a dozen - without even searching hard on the Internet. At the end of the day you get a job based on your achievements, not IBM's name.
But the comment posted is great for telling others that someone got paid by IBM (or IBM HR) to post such a ridiculous comment. It also warns others to stay away from employment at this awful IBM company. After all, laying off 9000 people in the USA and transferring their jobs to India is not something that anyone should take lightly. Unless you are Alvind or his Pipmunks.
