      Horrible management. Rotting culture. Second-tier everything.

      Senior strategy consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      IBM still has the brand name going for it that makes it easy to switch companies. Flexible work-at-home culture.

      Cons

      Clueless, outdated management. Tech company run by "manager types" instead of techies like Google or Facebook is. Lots of bureaucracy. Old-school corporate America with terrible IT infrastructure and team. Most people are old and senile. 9-5 job that you can hold till retirement.

      Would not apply for this job again

      Sales specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are a lot of nice people at the individual contributor level, and if you are lucky you will get the rare "professional and fair manager" to work for. The IBM logo is good to have on your resume.

      Cons

      In sales, IBM is capping many commissions and, in some instances, creatively avoiding them altogether. Technical positions are seeing salary reductions.
