Lots of opportunity, flexibility, and good people, but upper management seems to always be after you

Pros

Growth opportunity Work flexibility (location, hours) and freedom Lower-to-mid management tends to be pretty good.

Cons

Forced-curve ratings hinder development teams in a constant effort to shift engineering jobs overseas.

Salary growth is low to non-existent. Every new year comes with its new set of decrees worsening your working conditions.

So while objectively there are some really good jobs to be had, the feeling is that your company hates you.

Advice to Management

Think about how to make your employees feel good about the company before all that's good about IBM disappears.
