Overall rating: 1/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Senior

No Incentive to Excel
Pros: - Lots of very nice and talented people work there
Cons: - Layoffs (Resource Actions) are pretty much happening constantly and the jobs outsourced to cheaper markets in India, etc., meaning you are always wondering if you are next to be let go
- No rhyme or reason for who gets laid off, but older workers seem to be the main focus
- Even with good annual reviews, never had a raise in over 10 years
- Recently rescinded the work from home / remote work policy, and now everyone has to work from an office
- Required to use IBM tools (ie. Lotus Notes for email), which are usually not industry standard, and makes it difficult to sell your skills to other companies
