IBM Staff Software Engineer (Band 7 Software Developer) reviews

Old and hard to change structure, policies and mindset If you ever find a good manager, stick to him. Some extremely low tech skill colleagues either new or old Awful, weak laptop hardware given to employees (Brazil)

IBM's executives have been gutting the company to keep an earnings-per-share promise from a decade ago. US workers continue to be laid off in big chunks, replaced with cheaper labor in China and India. Furloughs have also become commonplace, meaning that their otherwise middle-of-the-road compensation is actually below market averages. Their intent to unburden themselves of their hardware holdings is quite clear despite their clumsy attempts at veiling that "secret", which means that the remaining loyal workers are facing an uncertain future.
