Great People, High Benefit Costs
IBM has great people, a great work environment, a top-notch workforce, flexibility, and emphasizes work-life balance. They emphasize respect for the individual.
The cost of benefits increased quite a bit year to year. They charge per child for benefits, up to 6 children. The rating system is not the best, with pre-arranged distributions for performance driving raises.
