IBM reviews

In looking at any position within IBM one must evaluate whether the position has requirements to exist where ever you are located. Ongoing cost cutting efforts may well eliminate your position or ship the position offshore (in the long term). There are annual efforts to reduce the bottom n% (5-15%) of low performers acrosss the company. If you are in a team of superstars, the team will loose their assigned percentage - regardless of the impact. In order to achieve continued growth, the company buys a lot of smaller companies. If you are working in an area of the business that has been enhanced throough a purchase, you risk being cast aside once the new venture comes on-line.

salary very low compared with industry low level management freezes up when discussing matters with upper level management, will not think twice about throwing own employees under the bus as long as they look good long hours and management grumbles when you take time off little to no guidance or feedback from sr. management until year review bonus is non-existant not even think about salary increase no room for growth, opportunities very limited unless you know someone too much delegation of work analysts don't understand information that is in the systems organization is very top heavy
