IBM Reviews in Brazil

The challenges are often, every time we have a chance to learn more, the projects are very interesting, but unfortunately I have an awful manager that takes me to think about a new job.

We work a lot, sometimes during nights and weekends, there are no clear plans from management, when we receive the work, sometimes we are delayed already.
