IBM reviews

My experience with 99.9% of managers was that if you got the job done, and someone else didn't, they wouldn't spend the time and work with the slacker to get him/her to do his/her job. They would just add it to you to do it. You can complain, but they don't care, because they know you'll get the work done, or you have failed to be a 'team player' - they LOVE that buzz word! But why would it take 3 people to replace you each time you left a job?

Too big, too much bureaucracy and red tape. Lots of resources in theory, but these are difficult to navigate. Very little importance is given to skills updates. Only moderate work-life balance. Management is unlikely to give bench time or push clients for remote work to update skills or to give a breather from travel. (On the plus side, consultants on projects requiring travel usually have lax Fridays and consultants on projects that don't require travel get to work from home). No clear way to move up or work towards bonuses. Bonuses are given out unexpectedly for good work only if money is 'left over' during year. Also, raises and promotions are only given sparingly. Even groups that perform well, like the one I work for, are stingy with bonuses and raises. Management does not encourage movement between groups.
