Still good place to work, but not your old IBM....

Advisory software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flex hours, fairly good work/life balance opportunities, sick days are not taken from your vacation, not too political (at least in my group), decent benefits, good 401k matching

Cons

lowered vacation time for new employees (starts at 3 weeks and reaches 4 weeks max no matter how long you you work for IBM), no more pension or medical insurance after retirement (but nobody can afford that really anymore), some groups can be competitive and polictical rather than motivational.

Once was a great place to work, but not now

Advisory software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Good people -- I have worked with a lot of wonderful colleagues over the years, mostly my peers, but there were some outstanding managers. 2. Company supplied laptop and software; I had a fast and capacious laptop; I usually was able to order any type of software for which I could make a reasonable case. Once IBM bought Rational, there was so much good Software Engineering tools available for download. 3. Competitive salary -- I feel that I was justly compensated.

Cons

1. Sweatshop -- I saw this word in the title for another review, and I would agree ... there is always way too much work to do for the time allotted; your manager expects you to do it all. 2. Churn -- projects come and go; so many projects on which we worked hard did not actually ship :-( [eg TKS, ORION, ... (a long list)] It hurts my mind to think about how much money IBM must have thrown away? 3. Manager of the day -- This is related to "churn". In over 30 years, it was rare to have the same manager for more than 1 year! Amazing in retrospect.

Job responsibilities should be reviewed annually by the employee and manager

Advisory software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is mediocre, but better than a lot of other mall jobs - benefits, same deal. Job security is non-existent because although it requires a lot of training and memorization, the turn-over rate is ridiculous. Promotions and raises are a joke- people become underhanded and nasty when sales are concerned and only numbers count. It really is a combination of luck and a little skill when it comes to this company and sales. The products are marked up ridiculously high and people are paying for what they think is a novelty.

Cons

Job performance reviews can be stressful, especially when you feel that you are being criticized for your work methods and manner. Responding in a thoughtful, objective and proactive manner to a job performance review will make the experience a positive one for you and for the future of your job. If you take the attitude that you can learn from a performance review, you'll grow even better within your chosen field of work. Always keep in mind that the way that you respond to a performance review says a lot about your character and influences the next review.
