Interesting work, but a dreadful company to work for
Pros: There is a wide variety of work, and real opportunities to try different roles.
Cons: The relentless focus on cost-cutting has removed the right number and balance of people to deliver the work.
Instead of IBM Finance facilitating us running our business well, it was allowed to introduce arbitrary rules to reduce their workload, with no thought to how this impacted the actual business.
Everything conducive to a nice workplace has been removed - shabby offices, poor hardware, they even removed our ability to make a cup of tea, citing health and safety as the reason they wouldn't provide a kettle.
