IBM Chile is a hard environment to work in... unless you make the right connections
Pros: Really good benefits, in Chile I had 14 salaries, a great 401K plan an additional health insurance plan
Depending on your manager, you can get some vacation flexibility... good luck!
Restaurant inside of the building, which makes a quick lunch/snack much easier (even though it was pretty expensive)
Cons: Insane selling goals and unhealthy way of demanding it, without giving  you ANY tools to reach such goal
Dated company with old working policies and culture, which means no work-from-home flexibility, old formal dressing code etc
Demand for CRAZY work hours to accomplish the selling goals every single month, and they won't even pay for dinner/taxi home at 2am...
In Chile, all the managers are just sellers who once succeeded on their sales goals (and made the "right friends") and got promoted, but they have NO emotional intelligence or people management skills...
No career path provided to the employees, the only way to climb up the ladder is basically "making the right friends" within the company
