IBM is a Career-Ending Move
Pros: Once upon a time IBM was a good place to work. That was a long long time ago.
If you've been watching IBM over the Gerstner, Palmisano, and Rometty eras, you've been watching the destruction of a one-time American standard.
Cons: 60 hour workweeks, 40 hour pay.
Reduced benefits and increased cost of insurance.
Unrealistic utilization rates.
HR is using annual performance reviews to eliminate workers.
IBM is considered a niche, antiquated company in the marketplace today; that means having IBM on your resume will damage your chances for future work.
