IBM Staff Software Developer reviews

- Management will work you to the bone. They are trying to do too much with too few resources, constantly making me feel overwhelmed, and in the end unappreciated. - There are too many processes hindering productivity and causing frustration beyond belief. - Internal organizations don't always work well together. Getting help or cooperation from other organizations is problematic and another point of frustration.

The only reason IBM is doing well right now is because budgets are being slashed left and right, employee morale is at an all time low and management (if you're unlucky) can be quite condescending and non responsive to employee needs. Keeping the staff happy is nowhere on the priority list. People are often expected to work extra long hours and weekends without any particular compensation, reward or acknowledgment. And the expectation isn't reflected in a request to come in but rather by assigning large amounts of work that don't actually make sense given a "normal" work day.
