IBM US Federal Software - Look before you join - BEWARE!
Pros: Fellow IBM employees are usually great to work with and add to the spirit of teamwork.
Cons: Left IBM in latest round of layoffs announced in March, 2018.  IBM sales management creates a hostile work environment.  Constant pressure to sell software with little regard for customers needs.  IBM Cloud Private is not ready to sell nor does it have required certifications.  IBM Sales Management micro manages employees with weekly and individual daily sales reviews at the end of the month and quarter.  IBM delays commission payments to employees as they see fit.  Recent sales closed in June were only paid at the end of September, almost 90 days.  Even new hires have little chance to be hired into full time positions when they complete training.  Obvious effort to get rid of longer term employees in favor of younger new hires.  Don't plan on moving ahead at IBM US Federal let alone getting paid on time.
