IBM is a law firm masquerading as a tech company. Anyone who has experienced their "partnerships" already knows this. Jesus Christ their contacts are insane. Once they get their claws in you're fucked.

Source - 10+ years dealing with them in various capacities.

My new fun one is ServiceNow. You know how off-putting it is for a sales rep to tell you the customer how amazing their stock is doing as if it's representative of the relationship you have with the company?

"We hear you now let's sell you XYZ"

"Oh wait we failed you on something? Guess you need ABC!"
