OK - could be worse
Pros: - Decent benefits
- Good education reimbursement
- Lots of nice people
- Facilities are beautiful in several locations. Armonk has a computer history museum in it. Littleton has a nice gym.
Cons: - Pay was below average, especially after eliminating the bonus structure
- 3 managers in three years because of the Middle Management Shuffle. They force people to be career middle managers and just keep shuffling them among the various middle management positions
- No work/life balance
- You're just a number to them, replaceable, dispensable. They don't let you forget it.
- A lot of people have really useless jobs there - they literally do nothing productive, yet still get paid
- IBM is NOT a technology company. They are a company that buys and sells other companies. If you sell your company to them, be prepared for them to end-of-life your product after 10 years. They milk companies they buy for 10 years and then kill them off or dump them on someone else.
