Does value people. Some concepts gone wrong.
Pros: - Company does value people (as compared to other service providers).
- Salary is ok but benefits are rather good.
- You get to work with the occasionally brilliant people.
- Pretty good global brand name.
Cons: - If you are in an account, you get affected by the crap in the account (basically passed down from the customer).
- If you are not in any account, you get the IBM billing crap. Bosses want you to do stuff but refuse to give you codes to bill your time to to cut costs. Said bosses at the end of the month will then come and hound you on why you have insufficient billed time.
- Too much information that needs to be collated and reported to higher ups; no sanity checks done on why the same information has to be reported to different teams in different templates.
- People who tend to go far in IBM are usually those who put in 200% and basically has no life outside work.
- More and more good people moving to other positions or leaving company, leaving with imbeciles that you have to work with.
