Employment status: current

Geographically balanced, where US jobs grow wings.
Pros: IBM is such a giant that working hard is really up to you, so even if merit-based raises are misaligned with reality, you can easily latch on to a decent salary without much effort.
Cons: IBM has a very long chain mgmt chain, and an excess of red tape. Outsourcing of US jobs is happening constantly and the catastrophic results are treated with crowdsourcing, to no effect. Yet the senior mgmt in charge of this flawed strategy continue to move up the chain while the few left behind continue to mop up the mess being made.
