IBM

The people in the organizations I was able to be a part of were great. Management (about third line down) were good with communication and happy to help with whatever career direction I wanted to choose. My engineering master's degree was paid for, although I could have gone through an MBA program as well.

Compensation was decent considering I worked from home full time and could live anywhere. Benefits are decent as well.

It's a large company, and teams are usually very geographically spread out. Even though a lot of tools are available to make virtual collaboration easy, it didn't quite hit the mark for me. This was coupled with the fact that the direction for the organization wasn't always clear, and I felt very disconnected and not useful.

Promotion from within an organization should be done more often. I've been in groups where an outside (non-technical) 2nd or 3rd line is brought in, and they have absolutely no idea what they are doing or what the people under them actually do.
