Employment status: current

A SAD place to work in 2011
Pros: smart people 
good benefits
intellectual capital
Cons: Treat employees with Masters and Ph.D degrees  like they are so stupid they cannot figure out that their bonus (2+) was 2% because we did not meet goals, but the Bloomberg headlinbe was "IBM CEO’s Incentive Pay Almost Doubles on Profit Gains", and "IBM CEO Compensation Jumps 30% in 2011"

No work like balance
Expense reimbursement rates are archaic
IBM keeps demanding more... for less
Employees are anxious  with constant fearof being laid off, which creates a "blame game".

It is sad to see good, hard working, smart, loyal peple loose their jobs just so that IBM can offshore more work to India, Argentina, Costa Rica, Brazil.

If you are a consultant and want to meet your targets, you cannot take all your vacation.

IBM isn't showing up on the "Best Companies to work for" anymore

IBM used to be a fabulous company for employees who enjoyed working hard and took pride in their work,
