Company: IBM

Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: current

Cost cutting, stock price focus leaves employees on neutral.
Pros: The vastness of the company allows exposure to diverse areas of technology. Somewhat insulated from market/business churn in day to day work.
Cons: Stock price driven management culture. Layoffs are a regular and demoralizing event, occurring every 6-12 months. Rapidly graying employee pool atleast in the US, lacking even the critical replacement level of young blood.
