Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: former

I had high hopes, but nothing but let down.
Pros: The opportunity to work on Linux and get paid to do it. Biggest company so I felt that I would have the most opportunity to move up.
Cons: Senior management is incompetent and lower level workers suffer from it on a constant basis. Also the politics at IBM are unbelievable,  people are placed in places for pure political reasons. Promotions are totally uneven, if fair at all. There is a system in IBM that after awhile you begin to realize is completely rigged.
