- 2.0Pays well, but works you to deathSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeWestford, Massachusetts, United StatesJanuary 6, 2009Pros: The pay is good, and you get to work with people around the world, as well as a bunch of hillbillies in North Carolina. IBM is customer-focused.Cons: The review system does not promote teamwork. It is cut-throat. Also, IBM never does anything new or creative. You use old tools to work on last year's technology. IBM buys new companies; it doesn't invent or create anything. Its heyday is long behind us. This is sad. Also, the stress level is unbelievable. I've seen people crying at their desks far too many times.
