Terrible opportunity if you care about being valued/appreciated/not being lied to (IBM Baton Rouge CIC)
Pros: Good resume filler (that’s it)
Cons: Management so disconnected from the actual work, truly unbelievable. All they care about is hiring enough people. Placing people in rolls they are prepared for? Nope. Paying people what they are worth? Nope. Overall interest in the employees and their lives outside of work? Nope.

When leaving, my manager told me I was making a “big mistake”. What kind of manager does that? All they would push is the hiring number they had to reach. That’s it, you don’t matter to them at all.

The leader of the office once said “I sometimes forget you guys have families” to us employees at the company picnic. Awesome! Way to reassure me that this place is a terrible work environment. 

Terrible training plan, huge disconnect from “core” IBM. Embarrassing to even say I contributed to that office.
