IBM Hardware Support Engineer reviews

Frequent layoffs. Gradual shift of workers from US to India. Understaffed for amount of work. Poor communication from project managers. Unreasonable project schedules that have just become a joke. No sense of big picture, everything is week to week survival. Upper management seems to be only concerned with profit and their stock options. Difficult to see where you fit in such a large corporation. Can easily have first line manager be in some other geography hundreds of miles away. Working remotely from the main group can leave workers feeling isolated and lost.

off shoring, complex management system. Likes to make everything single thing way too complicated. Management does not value employee loyalty and experience... if they don't need you, then you are out. management keeps changing often. Its hard to focus when you management keeps on re organizing every 4 - 6 months. By the time you get comfortable working with one manager, you have another manager and his style to adapt to. Employee morale is also low because of this.
