Career advancement very slow at IBM
Pros: 1. Working from home.
2. flexibility of management
3. home/life work balance
4. Overall nice co-workers
Cons: 1. Working from home- leading to no face to face interaction which can seriously hurt chances of growth.
2. career growth not clearly outlined...performance evaluation subjective.
3. career advancement is very very slow
4. very average benefits
5. Market intelligence model flawed. Very dependent on Internal clients who will not clearly define objectives, goals or scope. IF they were paying to do so for instance if they were paying a consulting firm like Bain they would clearly define scope objectives on the onset of the project.
