Don't buy IBM products, and don't work for IBM

Pros

The company almost pays the industry standard wage for software engineers.

Cons

Incompetent middle and upper management. Executives that put their personal gain ahead of all else, including the United States of America. Poor quality products, caused by said executives incompetence.

Pros

Very good people throughout the company - far better than IBM deserves.

Cons

Sadly, IBM has made alienating its workforce into an art form. People work under continual threat of being laid off, and those who remain watch their benefits erode every year. Every action from upper management reflects their attitude that "human capital" is to be used and then discarded. You are free to dismiss this post as a rant from a disgruntled ex-employee, but mark my words - join IBM and 1) you'll be sorry, and 2) you'll be back here to leave a post identical to this one. Run, don't walk, from this sorry excuse for a company.
