Feedback on IBM
Pros: 1) Great place to work for a new graduate, junior or in lower middle management staff
2) Great access to vast intellectual capital and talent
3) Rapid growth possible with the right sponsors and not mentors behind an individual which they have to identify for themselves.
Cons: 1) It's not such a good place for upper middle management and seasoned professionals:  
     - Bullying is a massive issue 
     - Intimidation of staff is another massive issue 
     {NB. HR does not focus on protecting the staff.  It's focus is on protecting the company. Note also that IBM is not a Unionized company so there is no place to go when a member of staff needs support}
2) No value or loyalty towards hard working staff
3) Glass ceiling for women and minority races 
     {NB. The token gestures of doing the right things by women and minority races are all North American centered.  European women or minority races professionals, rarely progress through the ranks however talented}
