An unpleasant place to work
Pros: - Good work environment
- Team co-workers are always willing to help you when something big arises
Cons: - IBM likes to use a bunch of white lies when you are under interviews (such as career plan). I was promoted after 4 years working in the company and my salary still the same (always having good/excellent PBC 2/2+ rate). The only thing which was increased was my work load and my inbox :-)
- Each IBM department is a completely new world in terms of effort recognition, opportunity, etc (so you end up being in a lottery game where you never know what the result will be).
- A negative work/life balance rate (team leaders bringing you work for weekend all the time).
