Company: IBM

Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: former

A once great company that has lost sight of their original values
Pros: Good benefits, excellent infrastructure, and technological resources. An early adopter of work at home for most of the workforce. Truly an international company these days, with the most IBMers now working in India.
Cons: IBM no longer cares about the employee. The share holder is the most important person to IBM these days, the customer second. IBM used to value the customer first, the employee second, and the share holder third. Those days are long gone. IBM used to not lay off employees when there was a downturn, now they are keeping the stock artificially inflated by constantly laying off older employees amid quarter after quarter of diminishing sales. Like many other US corporations, they will offshore most any job possible to a lower cost country. Despite receiving excellent ratings year after year, you would be lucky to receive greater than a 1% increase.
