IBM

Large company with opportunities to explore interesting projects. Decent benefits.

In spite of what they claim, hard work is not recognized. Management is too frequently ineffective or bullying. There are some exceptions, but the rule is too strong to ignore.

Note of bias: I was let go due to a round of layoffs. Unfortunately, this is common – there were at least 3 other "resource actions" before I was included in one. The claim by IBM is that layoffs were necessary to balance the books. I could have accepted that had the CEO not taken a huge bonus that year.

Look for ways to reward the people who do the hard work. Hold your managers to stricter standards regarding how they work with people (i.e., not attempting to bully or publicly embarrass them).
