IBM Staff Development Engineer reviews

Deteriorating morale, job insecurity due to frequent and large scale layoffs. Progressively emptying buildings with empty offices and rented out offices to other companies are a constant reminder that the site appears to be being phased out. Pervasive feeling of doom that increases each year. No raises in past several years, management unaware of of what engineers are working on. Engineers compete against each other rather then work as a team.

Unreasonable workload requests - prolonged working hours at night and in weekends; work-life balance is a joke. Incompetent management: assiged tasks were only useful to his own career goal rather than meaningful to the company or employee development. Constant layoffs. Lower pay, terrible benefits, and the company does not respect its employees. Short-sighted upper management.
