Good, but not a lot of room for advancement

Pros: The people I worked with were smart and professional.
I learned a lot and enjoyed my time there.
There was a lot of camaraderie and collaboration.
Cons: Their review process seemed okay, but didn't really mean anything. It's all numbers at IBM, and if there isn't a budget for what you are doing, it doesn't matter how well you do.
IBM is moving their support services offshore, which will decline their service in that area.
Felt like a number in the end.
Pay was as low as the market you were in would bear, and raises were few and far between.
5.0

Ability to move up the ladder
Take your lunch whenever you want; smoke breaks are not an issue either.

They laid me off.
