Pros

Decent benefits, good co-workers, plenty of work.

Cons

IBM is slowing reducing benefits, and laying off people over the age of 55. They skirt EEO laws by reporting people as "retired," rather than laid off. 18 years of service and I was shown the door. My manager said, "IBM considers you retired, and you will not be eligible for re-hire..." They announced internally I was retiring, people were congratulating me, and it was a complete lie. I was a solid performer, with no issues, and a team player. This same scenario has played out for many people as IBM has moves jobs overseas to Sofia, Bulgaria, China, and India. IBM DEFINES THE UGLY SIDE OF CORPORATE AMERICA.
