Pros

Work from home. As long as you deliver, no one cares.

Cons

Milk the initial salary negotiation for as much as you can as there are no increases for many years to come. Bad morale due to inefficient management practises. GTS looks to be retired by 2018.

IBM really struggling

Pros

Good people and teams. Many strong, well respected products. Large install base across many solution areas. Trying to catch amazon and Microsoft.

Cons

15 quarters of decline says it all. The brand has lost significant value as perceived by client decision makers. The demand for IBM has dropped significantly. Outsourcing and reduced staffing has hurt customer satisfaction and support. Turnover is very high including senior leaders. The cloud message isn't working. Boosting cloud revenue through creative tactics. Reduced compensation.

Life at IBM in Baton Rouge

Anonymous employee

Pros

The people at the Baton Rouge Center are great people to work with. Friendly and gives you help on your project even if they are on another.

Cons

This is a Consultant position, not a developer position. If you are looking for in-house developer position this is not it. It is also a sink or die situation. There is no way to move vertical or horizontal. You are stuck in your position until you find another job. You work 44 hours or more per week which means you will burn out quickly on some project.
