IBM

Good corporate culture: Not expected to work weekends, holidays, etc. Managers and other employees are respectful and courteous, even when there are disagreements.

Excellent work-life balance. I can work from home any time I want to, work fairly flexible hours, and take time off when I need to for personal reasons.

Huge company bureaucracy makes it difficult sometimes to get things done, or even find out what decision was made about a key issue.

Interfacing with development partners can be challenging.

Pay is poor -- my salary has not even kept up with inflation since I started working here -- and advancement opportunity is limited.

There is no reward for working hard or going "above and beyond"; everyone gets pretty much the same (small) profit sharing every year.

Reward employees for doing an excellent job. Pay competitively to retain key talent.
