      Diversity? No Thanks

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      May have an opportunity to be relocated to China before your position is outsourced to a growth nation leaving you no way to get home

      Cons

      The company is not interested in diversifying its workforce. Too much focus on moving jobs out of the United States to low cost labor and low skilled labor. Company is forcing too much pressure on employees to meet unrealistic revenue objectives which will end up in numerous ethical issues making front page news on a regular basis once the regulators figure out what they are doing

      Not much in terms of career growth

      Advisory software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very Smart and dedicated group of professionals. Good teamwork especially among US employees. In spite of all uncertainties, most people have a strong sense of loyalty to the company and it's clients.

      Cons

      Lack of career opportunities; One seems to get a lack of direction within the company and there seems to be a lack of vision on the part of management.

      Pros

      When I first started working at IBM I worked with amazingly smart people who mentored and helped me grow professionally and academically. I was allowed a flexible schedule to be able to continue going to school and finish my MSEE and start on my PhD. However, IBM began to pigeon hole me and would not allow me to do new work and I was stuck on a project that I wasn't able to get out of or attempt to correct some problems since it could slow down the rate at which new features were being added.

      Cons

      -Messing with benefits constantly -Salaries are low -Raises are non-existent -Ability to move jobs within IBM is meager at best despite what they tell you
