Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Senior

2015 Deadlines mean more than quality, products and people
Pros: Opportunities to move around within a global organization (they actively encourage techical staff to consider moving to China, India or Africa).

They encourage patent invention and intellictual IP
Cons: They have lost their way.  Senior management encourages a message of "client first".  Yet they have slashed staffing to WAY beyond the ability to create, deliver, market and train products of quality to their customers.  Research and engineering employees who truly believe in doing a great job no longer have the ability to do so. 

IBM is aggressively moving towards cloud/big data technologies, but are trying to do so with little investment.  

Do more with less is fine.. and sometimes a reality.  But do more with less for years, and less benefits and no work-life balance is not sustainable.
