      Fear and Loathing in the halls; What happens when there is Only Greed and Incompetence in the Board Room

      Advisory engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are few. One would be rather than collecting unemployment, but for the most part I would expect that anyone desperate enough to accept a position at IBM should count on a negative experience. To some that may be the trade off to gaining experience and later finding meaningful employment with an ethical and morally run company.

      Cons

      Obscene greed on the part of senior managers, and incompetence at the lower levels of management. Not knowing if your position is going to be downsized, or right sized, or whatever term is the term of the day for IBM.

      Good money - No life; IBM Systems and Technology

      Advisory software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you have NO life and are willing to work 70 to 90 hours a week, you will be paid well.

      Cons

      In order to get ahead and not be laid off, you will need to sacrifice your personal life in order to put the hours in that the job will demand. For example, I had 4:30 am conference calls with a contracting group in Romania with deliverables due on Saturdays. Further, there are too many "Queen Bees" involved in Systems and Technology who get accolades for 1000 page design documents written such that contractors cannot comprehend them.
