IBM Operations Manager reviews

IBM's greatest asset of its size is also its biggest downfall.. very hard to get something done quickly. There is also an overall trend to squeeze the middle layer of the company, lower end work is done offshore..

Very cost motivated which takes away from innovation, staff development and and a caring attitude to workers and customers. HR are quoted as telling new people managers that "it is now them and us" IBM discriminates against white heterosexual males in obtaining parental leave. IBM EXPECTS people to work 60+ hours per week and once they have a nervous breakdown they won't provide support or compensation, instead they work towards ways to either get the person to resign or make them redundant. IBM wont pay for tea, coffee, milk, sugar or provide cups to staff IBM removes benefits of employment without reference to staff and when HR are asked about it they want the staff member to prove that they ever had such a benefit. I have seen IBM inappropriately charge clients for software licences that the client should not be fully responsible for. When the fraud was reported on two occasions I was told to forget about it.
