Dead end place to work. avoid
Pros: I had some friends there. Oh and I no longer work there ;-)
Cons: salary below market rate. I had a string of unhelpful,  ineffective,  self interested managers, all who would try to convince you  you were only worth that. No training,  no promotional opportunities. Really felt disrespected all the time. Very difficult to move around. dank depressing office, converted factory so no natural light, in the middle of nowhere.  Poor public transport,  and a long drive.  Awful overpriced canteen. In short Ibm are cheap, with people and facilities.  Impossible to keep your dignity and get promoted. A final insult was an annual Christmas dinner at this Fridays, budget per head under a tenner. And we were forced to attend! 

I'm happy to say I no longer work there,  I get annual reviews,  bonuses  I work with much smarter less smug people. I am treated with much more respect. 

I did get some experience in the area I wanted but only when I think it was clear I was ready to walk out the door.  
In summary skip it completely.  Don't even apply. Especially when you see the ceo sucking up to a bigot, to boost her shares.
