Seriously, the first day you step into this company, your fate is already decided. It's up to them to decide how badly they want to treat you as a lower caste workers.
I know joining Google is hard...but still there are way better companies out there.
Accept your fate the day you decided to join IBM, and stop complaining.
This company was already mismanaged since the OS/2-Bill Gates days! And that's why they lost. And that's why they pivoted to consulting.
Wake up!
