Two-faced
Pros: I has mostly good coworkers but I am not impressed with upper management.
Cons: IBM has offshored my positions 3 separate times and now laid off. The benefits are shrinking every year. More people seem more cut throat that in the past because of the way reviews are given so it is harder to get a sense of a good team atmosphere.  It is a joke how they do appraisals since they make us write personal business commitments as our goals and we could accomplish all the goals we set forth.  But these PBCs are not used in the evaluation. 1st line managers haggle with other 1st line managers over who "ranks" higher so you better hope your manager is close to you and they are better at debating with other managers.
