Pros
There are some smart folks here. The _really_ smart people left, though, even if they cared about the business.
Cons
3 yr employee. In my opinion, there is no way that the recent spate of high-star reviews are real. Why would I say this? -The company has had almost monthly cuts and layoffs for over a year. Major cuts to development in Q4 seems to be a trend. Oh and just google "IBM Watson Layoffs" for the May 2018 news about massive cuts. -The subject matter experts that know how the 'product' works left ages ago. As a result, the company is down to one or no knowledge-holder for many core components of the software that drives their service-based business. -About the service-based: it is very obvious this is a _service_-oriented company, product management ("Offering Management in IBM-speak") was completely gutted by flight or firings years ago, and the service teams have been just doing whatever random stuff they wanted with the tools available since then. -IBM just had massive layoffs in Watson Health which Truven leadership insists do not affect Truven's team, products, or delivery of new initiatives. Despite the fact that pretty much everything for 2018 is now Red for delivery status, and management has been working for weeks to determine impact and produce new timelines, they haven't been able to do so. There are "position openings" but external hires are not permitted, they will be filled by transfers from other IBM divisions or hirings from IBM-India. There is really no future for this company, IBM spent billions for a company that only has earnings in the millions. The internal feeling is that they bought Truven for the 30-odd years of client data archives, and really do not want nor care about the business itself.
