Company: IBM
Date: 2011-06-03
Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: current

At the beginning it was good, very good in fact, but now there is a constant feeling of being beaten down.
Pros: ability to work from home (see below)
a good range of employee benefits
plenty of career opportunities, mostly in London
Cons: Bureaucratic nightmare
Reviewed to death - from top to bottom
no empowerment from VP level down
poor pay rates compared to rest of market
don't expect a pay increase, regardless of good performance
don't think that the sales plans are there to incent you; they are there to pay the minimum possible
don't expect to travel for 12 hours on a plane in comfort and do expect to work as soon as you land
don't expect to be able to work in an IBM office in most cities; more offices are closing
