Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: current

In 10 years there won't be any US IBM engineers.  All engineers "rebalanced" to India.
Pros: Management supports working from home.
Good group of people to work with.
Cons: Frequent layoffs.  Gradual shift of workers from US to India.
Understaffed for amount of work.  Poor communication from project managers.
Unreasonable project schedules that have just become a joke.
No sense of big picture, everything is week to week survival.
Upper management seems to be only concerned with profit and their stock options.
Difficult to see where you fit in such a large corporation.
Can easily have first line manager be in some other geography hundreds of miles away.
Working remotely from the main group can leave workers feeling isolated and lost.
