A highly profitable company that does not sread the wealth
Pros: The vacation package was excellent. I had 5 weeks plus 6 personal holidays. The flexibilty that job offered as a field repair tech was also great. You could start early or late for personal appts and getting time off for doctor or dentist visits was never a problem.
Cons: IBM is setting record profit numbers but that keep saying they dont have any money for Christmas parites, raises, bonuses ect. I worked there almost 30 years and the delta between the haves and have nots keeps growing. The founding members of IBM - Tom Watson Sr and Jr are spinning in their graves. One of their cornerstones was "respect for the individual" words long since forgotten. We used to all be valued as employees. Now they will show you the door in a hurry. No loyality whatsoever.
