Pros

Nothing positive about working for IBM

Cons

Benefits are horrible, there is no work-life balance, leadership does not support training, and leadership pit employees against each other.

A once-great company has stumbled under poor leadership

Pros

Flexible on working at home. Great opportunities to volunteer. Lots of online training. Amazing global community of exceptional people.

Cons

Poor morale. Ridiculous workload. Volunteering discouraged and not rewarded. Aging admin processes and systems. PBC process demoralising and opaque. No payrises or bonuses for year after year. Concerns about where growth is coming from. Expense constraints strangling business. Employee payment on growth-driven profit totally out of line with senior executive remuneration from cost-cutting. The overwhelming feeling that you are not valued

Pros

Flexible workplace and work hours. Overall, peers , co-workers, and low-level & middle management were nice to work with. Vacation benefits are good.

Cons

Pay is below average. Benefits (except for vacation) are well below average. Training & education is atrocious. Senior management is absolutely clueless. The company has long since stopped being about technology and is now run by people who have no clue about technology.
