Originally thought prestige but realize no more
Pros: In a job not affected yet by "co-location" and able to WFH. In a job that does not require a lot of travel.
Cons: Pressure employees into early retirement to get rid of them.  Every year, Jan./Feb. is the time of anxiety wondering if you are going to be affected by the constant RA's and then it can also come in Q4 as well. Not banded properly - raises are non-existent and Ginni says yes we will pay GDP but you are lucky if you get anything and if so, it's peanuts on the dollar. You apply to jobs internally and never hear a word from anyone regarding submission - why are the jobs posted?  You are letting sales reps go constantly yet bringing in new university hires and also now cutting the salesforce by 30% and going to using mostly business partners - what has IBM turned into?  Ginni is sure to get her millions every year while her employees suffer by all of the cuts and the knowledgebase leaving the company.  They care of the #'s to the investors so have to always make cuts to make it look better and continue to mess with our heads on a constant basis.
