Project Manager
Pros: I had the opportunity to meet a lot of smart people.
Cons: Work Life balance is non existent. All work no life. IBM culture is only earnings per share based so employees are now working out of fear of layoffs. Pay is average but bonus and raises are not keeping up with inflation or cost of living. The new IBM is now utilization based which makes it impossible to have work-life balance since your performance reviews are based on 120% utilization rates. The more vacation you get the more overtime you have to work to make up for it. Should be criminal but there must be a loophole around it.
