IBM: A broken company
Pros: IBM is an IT behemoth that during the on board process makes you feel like you are part of one big happy family who will be there for you at all times.  Before you even get stated on you first job assignment they are already encouraging you to keep considering what your next position at IBM will be and how you will be broadening you experience at IBM.
Cons: IBM is also an IT behemoth that can’t get out of its own way.  Upper management overthink organizational changes on a yearly basis which delay sales processes and disrupt customer satisfaction. Then they wonder why revenue targets are missed when the first 3 -4 months of every year are thrown into chaos due to mixing the soup on an annual basis.  The company talks about its people being their greatest asset yet the management of this era have little consideration for the employees.  It is understood that all organizations need a clearly defined method of evaluating work performance, although IBMs PBCs rating process is flawed.  Marginal / Poor PBC ratings of 3 are routinely assigned to well performing employees just to justify Resource Actions.
