Horrible Company - an industry follower at best

Program manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are none. 30 years ago it was a great company to work for. Senior management cared about the most valuable asset within the company, their employees. Today you are just a number no matter how well you perform. Salary and benefits lag behind the industry and management lacks vision.

Cons

Benefits are average at best, most lag behind the industry. Salary lags industry and annual increases are hit or miss. Increase percentages are a joke. No clear direction from upper management. There truly is no vision, just great "buzz" words. The worst HR people in the industry. Most HR people are flunky's who flushed out of real jobs.

Pros

IBM is very flexible when it comes to working remotely. Great colleagues. Management is encouraged to measure an employee by their work and impact, not by hours spent.

Cons

Hiring freeze in many areas. Attempt to reduce its workforce cross North America and Europe. Full-time position was not available at time of end of supplemental employment.

Pros

Co-workers (non-managers) are great and support you to get the job done.

Cons

No Job Security. Management only looks to save their own job. No appreciation for good job if you are not the senior management favorite.
