Pros

Softlayer was a great company until IBM arrived

Cons

IBM is the most dishonest and unethical company I have ever worked for run by an inbred robot management who will lay you off / fire you without warning after fabricating lies. Stay very far away it’s a dinosaur in a freefall and hemorrhaging money. Yes a 100 year old company can go out of business and this one is on its way. Read the Wall Street reviews no profits in 10 quarters.

Pros

Work with really smart people. Lots of opportunities to learn new technologies.

Cons

Unfair performance evaluations. Constant layoffs. Raises are non-existent for most employees. The employee is no longer valued.

Pros

Worked here for 15 years, saw the morale of the employees go down hill every year. When your job is always on the line, it is hard to enjoy it. Saw many good workers get RA'd year after year. After years of layoffs, they are getting rid of the best ones, and, wonder how much longer this company will be around. Upper management doesn't have a clue.

Cons

Treat your U.S. based employees better.
