Employment status: current

Management is putting the squeeze on IT staff.
Pros: Flexible hours and work locations.  Lots of free classes available from the IBM Global Education website.  The benefits are excellent.  You get 18 days of vacation to start and that becomes 23 days on your tenth year.
Cons: Excessive overhead created by matrix organizational structure.  Pressure to outsource is constant and there is little job security.  46 hour work week is expected.  Employees have to fight for themselves to get recognition for work they do.
