      Don't be Fooled

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Salary is competitive, some benefits are generous

      Cons

      Management is poor and it's a very secretive society. They do not communicate important information with other department members. Be very careful if you are reaching an age considered "old". You will soon start receiving contrived reviews that will eventually warrant a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) and dismissal from the company is 100% imminent no matter what your past reviews or company performance has been in the past.

      Used to be a great company

      Senior manager, marketing
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good benefits package - Recharge days that don't count against PTO - Some really great people to work, intelligent and kind

      Cons

      - The culture is definitely changing. It's not quite as open or collaborative. FUD is ruling the company at the moment. - It doesn't matter how much people deny, IBM is shifting the culture and priorities. An influx of IBM leadership into different areas has created a different feel and tone with company-wide meetings. - FUD means a lot of morale issues. Managers are being asked to sustain morale when our own morale is flagging. - We never had layoffs before, and it was never ever presented as a possibility. That is a massive shift in philosophy and has left many long-time associates feeling betrayed and angry.

      Poor leadership ruined a once great company

      Talent acquisition specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Well known brand, good co-workers for the most part

      Cons

      This company once had amazing leadership but that is no longer the case. The CEO and Chief People Officer are both awful, no idea how to lead a company or motivate people. As a result the culture has taken a major hit. The company recently had layoffs despite fantastic revenue numbers, which further hurt morale. Just a bad place to work.
