Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Senior

Overworked and underpaid
Pros: The technical writing community is an amazing group of people who are willing to help each other. Plus, there are a lot of innovative documentation strategies being worked on.
Cons: It's no secret that IBM hasn't been doing well. As such, more and more people are leaving to take better paying jobs at other companies. As they leave, replacements aren't hired so the workload keeps growing. The stacked ranking system is absolutely ridiculous. After years of losing employees, everyone left is amazing, and to have some people fall to the bottom sure doesn't make people want to do more. Morale is at an all-time low.
