IBM reviews

Only growth is coming from managing the bottom line through expense restrictions, primarily through labour cuts. Work/life balance is a joke as the expectations are to keep doing more with less resource. Total compensation compared to others is terrible.

I had absolutely no job security, very few raises, and you were expected to work enough hours and overtime time make up for any vacation, sick leave, or other time off - plus an additional percentage. Funding for education seems to have been frozen for the past 4 years, so forget about any classes unless they are free and downloadable... and taken in whatever spare time you can find. Any compliments about a job well done were followed with expectations of more, no matter how impossible. All in all, the last five years my quality of life dropped substantially, and my morale was at an all time low, a sentiment shared with many co-workers. 2009 brought the ax down on many of these wonderful hardworking people - and these people will go to competitors.
