IBM treats employees poorly
Pros: the insurance benefits are decent and depending on workgroup can work from home. Individual workgroups and 1st line managers make the environment bearable.
Cons: No Educational Benefits such as tuition reimbursement, its listed, but there isn't money for it.  IBM tends to stick new employees into lower pay grades for their salary point, this prevents raises as the employee is maxed out in their pay grade. Promotions are few and far between as are bonuses. Employees are forced to relocate to delivery centers at their own expense and have no long term guarantee of employment once they relocate.  Company cuts employees indiscriminately regardless of performance. Eventually all employees will either be forced to quit or be subject to resource action, its only a matter of time.
