Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: current

It is a hard place to work, to much corporate overhead and irrelevance
Pros: Good training, encourage working from home, good with work/life balance issues and they try to accommodate peoples unique personal situations within the working environment
Cons: To many internal meetings that are pointless, to much "you have to do this to comply with requirements" so people just go through the motions, such as on-line updates on products. To much dead-wood around the place, lack of local authority to approve anything, processes that are far to rigid which make it hard and waste time. Not enough emphasis on doing what is right for the customer, things have to fit within the IBM policies and procedures or they simply do not happen.
