Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: current

A work for those who don't want to work or those who are ready to be management's always waiting/working 24x7 dogs
Pros: If agreed with Manager you can work from home couple days a week.
Good location of Moscow office, big open space, big tables, overall good working conditions.  
80% of mobile services and medical ensurance are paid by the company. 
On certain positions you can do almost nothing and get paid good for that.
Cons: I.B.M. - "It's better manual"! No useful applications with user-friednly interface to work with. Not a software company at all! Everything is done manually and as far as people make mistakes other people are employed to control the first ones and some other people to control the second ones and so on and so on. 
A lot of people who work in a company for 10-15-20 years, who are not ready for changes, are even afraid of young dynamic newcommers. 
Manegement is more about politics, image, ompression, moving themselves forward than about truthfull forecats, carying for employees, there work-life balance, etc. Friends bonuses/promotion mostly. 
Very bureacratic. Everything takes a very-very long time. 
Boring. Boring to be on that "certain position" and feel like you're wasting your time, using only 10% of your barin capabilities, sitting in the office doing nothing, just waiting in case your Manager needs some help. At IBM you either work 24x7 or do almost nothing. 
Ability to work abroad or completely change your career path is declared, but rarely fullfilled.
