Pros

great salary great benefits work from home

Cons

lack of leadership The company put me on the bench because the Team Leader of the team I was working on found out how much I was making and then wanted me off the team. HE is a small leader The company keeps pumping out information about all the new contracts they are winning, but they are billing company is not hiring people for these roles, they are having employees split their time between projects, all while billing employees as full time. Large Health care systems that work with Kyndryl should be aware of this. They are over paying sometimes twice what they should be The team leaders and managers that they have in place want to be treated like we are thankful to work for them. Once Kyndryl has a big lay off cycle, we will see how the stock price sinks. They are holding onto a lot of us until the end of the 2nd fiscal year so they can bump stock prices and say 'we haven't had major layoffs' but their time is coming..

Pros

Remote work, vacation, coworkers are usually pretty chill, 3 months on the bench to look for a new job before you're laid off

Cons

10-11K planned to be laid off this year and they aren't going after the worst performers, they're just cutting out whatever section looks good in excel. Poor profitability. Constant reorgs. Say they're a flat organization but keep getting more and more vertical. the last manager I got transferred to took months to have a meeting with my group and when he did, it was only to let us know we were getting cut, never-mind that we had a presentation on how to save a couple million on a type of software license that the company had to have to do business. They still use a stacked ranking for employee review, so if your whole team had an outstanding year and surpassed every goal, only 5-10% will be graded as outstanding and 10-15% will get expects more. Even when I got into that 5-10% exceeds, the raise for that year was still only 2%. One year I got a promotion from band 4 to 5, still only a 2% raise. Your pay will be as flat as a plains state. After 15+ years in this company, it feels like leaving an abusive relationship. Yes, it's not all bad, but you have to recognize that it still wasn't good for you.
