IBM reviews

It's not that the people aren't well meaning, but the entire company goes out of its way to obstruct the business process. The company is so compartmentalized that there is no teaming across organizations and you are made to feel incredibly small, despite your contributions. They don't give rewards to the employees for profit growth- only revenue growth. Try growing on 100B revenue... No incentives... as close to a government job as you can get--except without the job security. The company is stripping away at its mobile employees and moving them to onsite locations for 2/3 of the salary. Really not a healthy place to be.

IBM continues to degrade in their treatment of employees. Business air travel has been eliminated. salary increases no longer are given to more than half of the population. Bonuses are but paltry crumbs. Overloading employees with unrealistic expectations and unreasonable deadlines is now the norm. personal/career development is nonexistent (becasue the execs don't care about it and thus don't place importance on it with their management team). cost cutting is deep and they are taking away ability to order basic supplies. Any hotel stays demand you stay at a hotel on a limited list (and that list is a pathetic selection of low rate/budget hotels. budget for recognition and awards for employees has been shut down. If you are considering working for IBM, I warn you... It will be a painful experience and you won't be treated with the level of respect you deserve. I spent 10 years including graduate education to have a job that was respectable. I never expected to be treated like this as a result of my hard work in earning my degrees. IBM should be ashamed of iself. The bean counters there don't give a rats ass about your quality of life and workplace experience. I can only hope more people write about the way they're being treated and perhaps word will get out and force something to change.
