Pros

hardworking and a good engineer to work with.

Cons

The hardworking, sincere employee is put in the low-performance ranking system and asked to perform in 30 days. Trusting the manager's words and even after meeting the plan, the decision is pre-determined to eliminate the employee. Very bad tactic. Same time new candidate is interviewed for the same position in India

Pros

Does not care about career long accomplishments

Cons

Does not care about career long accomplishments. Will eventually nominate you to be redeployed when you begin to make too much money. Redeployment is IBM's way to layoff workers and thus not have to report the numbers to the government. You are on your own to find a job, which end up being crappy ones.
