      They simply dont care

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      there are a lot of good and dedicated people here and there, and talking and working with them is a great pleasure and an opportunity to learn many valuable skills for career growth and doing the job right, and* you get to know everything your manager doesn't tell you.

      Cons

      they are making a profit. every year. so far. but at least part of those profits come from off-shoring. if you are a corp. ladder climber and you dont care about your employees, your product's quality, and your customers (b/c after you move on someone else gets the blame). its good place to be.

      Corporate employment means corporate values

      Advisory software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      IBM is huge - which, in theory, means there are opportunities in diverse areas for growing or changing your career. The benefits package, while no longer great, is still better than many companies can offer. The rest depends significantly on your department - some offer a great deal more flexibility than others.

      Cons

      Once known as a family and employee valuing company, IBM has completed the transition to a bottom line $ corporate mentality. People are no longer valued anymore than a piece of hardware on your desk. The company offers no loyalty to employees, and expects "work-life integration" from them -- which basically translates to the employee will be available around the clock to meet IBM's global needs.
