Before, if you worked hard here, asked the right questions, and applied when a better role opened up, you had a real shot. Lately, that hasn't been the case. It's like all the internal postings are advertised just for the sake of appearances, while the roles are already reserved for pre-selected candidates. Tell me I'm wrong.

From experience looking to move internally especially when given RA not is like a snowball chance in h*ll
applying internally is risky
- apply
- hiring manager needs to inform at some point current manager.
- if you do not move at the next layoff current manager know that you want to move- so keep the one what truly want to be in the group
I have had vps tell me it’s pointless!
@OP you are 110% right. The roles are to pretend to everyone, but especially external job seeking candidates that IBM is a place of opportunity.
It certainly is, if you are looking for the experience of RA's, Layoffs, PIPS and the experience to debase oneself personally at the hands of Arvind Krispy Kreme, his Pipmunks and their managers. Indians are given the management opportunities, US employees are simply there to enhance the office space.
Most managers in IBM, especially those in the IBM CIO and Consulting are nothing short of the caliber of recruits that the Na-is would seek to join their ranks to manage the death camps and the death squads during WW II. That is what IBM under Arvind Krispy Kreme and his Pipmunks has become. Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt rule the hallways in Armonk. As many have stated on this site, IBM is a burning dumpster. And it will never improve for US employees.
For everyone else, there are better opportunities outside IBM. After all, who wants to work in a burning dumpster?
