      IBM the GOOD, BAD & UGLY

      Pros

      Good Benefits. Good first line managers.

      Cons

      Products are rushed out the door before being ready. As a technician I have to deal with unhappy customers every day because the products are sold before being ready.

      Great place to work!

      Pros

      IBM is a great place to start your career as the business itself is old and experienced in its field, making it a fantastic place to learn the market and the "game". The people I work with are extremely intelligent, imaginative, and creative, and are a blast to work with. Not only that, most managers are very helpful with almost whatever you need. The work is very flexible as well, meaning that nobody is breathing down your neck to get things done..as long as you meet your deadlines, you have the freedom to work when you want.

      Cons

      Salary compression has been a big issue with many older employees, but otherwise its a great place to work!

      Loosen up and bring a sense of continuity to the business

      Pros

      Alot of opportunity, depending on your skills and when you joined the company.

      Cons

      Very rigid business structures and "silos" of protected information or protected areas. You almost get a sense that folks are only willing to go so far in helping you out. This is all wrapped around a generally feeling of self preservation at the expense of others because each year end the "axe" (job layoffs) are falling somewhere in the company.
