Don't work at IBM Canada
Pros: The working from home option is the only good thing about working at IBM Canada. IBM Canada does seem to employ a diverse work force.
Cons: Below market average for base salaries, very top heavy in management, too many layers of puppet managers whose hands are tired, any remaining benefits seem to be continuously being cut (health benefits, pensions, oncall pay has been halved or expected to be done for free!! etc). No training or education.
Heavy out-sourcing to cheaper countries already happenning in a big way - so no long term future at IBM Canada, unless you are in management to manage out-sourcing projects and have skills such as LEAN, SIX-SIGMA etc
