IBM reviews

Sadly, IBM has made alienating its workforce into an art form. People work under continual threat of being laid off, and those who remain watch their benefits erode every year. Every action from upper management reflects their attitude that "human capital" is to be used and then discarded. You are free to dismiss this post as a rant from a disgruntled ex-employee, but mark my words - join IBM and 1) you'll be sorry, and 2) you'll be back here to leave a post identical to this one. Run, don't walk, from this sorry excuse for a company.

Unless you reside in the ivory tower in Armonk, you are just a serial # to this company. Management is a joke. They are not respected, because generally speaking, most of them are incompetent. They rely on their team to make them look good, so when it comes time for recognition, they have no problem accepting it for themselves, rather than passing it on to those who "truly" deserve it. The PBC rating system (yearly review) is a joke, it is a luck of the draw exercise. I have found that in 10 years with the company, it seems we spend more time trying to justify our employment by making sure our powerpoint presentations look pretty and also that the data presented to executives is as "accurate as possible". Employee morale is horrible. It has become a depressing company to work for.
