IBM reviews

It's a hopeless, confused situation for some Business Units. Middle and upper management should be replaced entirely. No strategy, no sense of direction or purpose, and our competition is eating us alive. A lot of management promotions will leave you scratching your head, too. Like, are your products are stagnant? Do you hire ridiculously bad managers? Is your staff morale in the toilet? Have you experienced more attrition than anyone before you? Promoted. On top of it all, good luck trying to get a promotion, access to new software, or even a steady supply of napkins or cups in the kitchen. IBM can't afford it.

I don’t know where to begin.... 1) Rocket Center is the epitome of “Glass Ceiling”. If you’re in the CIC, you’re a second class citizen. Period. They will try to tell you otherwise, but it’s painfully clear they don’t expect much from CIC and refuse to care about CIC employees. Many benefits (401k, time off, education reimbursement , basically all benefits) are watered down. We get less matching that people who non-development jobs, and we are expect to work 44 hours without overtime pay. Meanwhile the people who work “Staffing” jobs, the people with zero technical background, get paid overtime and receive a higher 401k matching. This is completely backwards. The turnover rate at Rocket Center is insanely high. Seriously never seen anything like this. It’s a complete shitshow and I’m embarrassed to be a part of this.
