IBM reviews

Getting a promotion beyond a certain point requires an extreme amount of documentation and can take much longer than needed if you hapeen to accomplish goals outside of their career framework timeframe. This is a profit center, and management is not timid about expressing this. They lay off folks pretty much every quarter, but also do quite a bit of hiring. Stock price is the largest driver in this company. Innovation is a distant second.

Sales plan is dismal at best - if you work the same amount at another company, you probably would make twice as much.. many gotchas in the sales comp plan - not the best way to retain hard working sales folks Competitive products within IBM itself - and you probably would be selling only one of those products no work/life balance - you are expected to work over the weekends Takes 3-4 days for folks to respond to your emails if it is not urgent Not a place to make money
