We overlapped for a short time. It was my first job straight out of college. I worked around some really nice people but even my inexperienced self knew that it wasn't a good environment to grow (terrible code base, silo-ed teams, archaic processes, weeks onboarding, etc) so I left after 6 months.

I think it was about a year later when I heard the IT team was fired. The kicker: a lot were hired by IBM _and subsequently contracted to work for Hertz_ on the exact thing they were working on before.

Safe to say I didn't regret my decision at all
