Overall rating: 1/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Senior

High Stress Job with no future
Pros: The work from home benefit was one of the best benefits IBM had.  Sadly that is now gone as they move to the new co-location strategy and further offshore worker strategies.
Reasonably Good Pay & Benefits
Some Great People left in the company
well recognized brand - good for the CV
Cons: High Stress
Extreme hours are expected with no compensation, or time off in lieu, overtime etc.., often for weeks or months on end
Top heavy - too many mangers with diverse opinions and directions and fewer and fewer technical staff to actually do the work
outdated technology and processes, that slow down the work rather then enable it
no real advancement options or career path.    IBM wants young workers / offshore workers they can work extreme hours and then toss.  No interest by the company in keeping talent anymore.  IBM has become another IT sweat shop that turns over at an alarming rate their people.
