Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: former

Low morale, mediocre pay/benefits, long hours, getting worse.
Pros: Big name company, looks good on resume; such a large IT organization means vast knowledge resources you can tap into, if you can find them; virtually any IT job exists at IBM, somewhere
Cons: Constant, incessant push to offshore as much work as possible; totally detached middle and upper management pushes layer after layer of counterproductive process downwards at the same time they demand ever-increasing efficiency from workers; constant annual chipping away at or elimination of benefits; huge ongoing effort to offshore as much work as possible; work-life balance is a joke, not even paid lip service any longer.
