IBM

• Overworking means that you're able to learn a lot of new things.

I'd think 1 year at IBM is equivalent to ~2 years at another company, experience-wise.

• Exposure to customers and designing customer solutions.

• Flex time; can work any time you want.

• Complete lack of respect for employees by management, with no loyalty to employees.
• Unrealistic expectations for EPS/profit, which when failed to meet, are then used as an excuse to mistreat employees.
• Long work hours for no benefit.
• Unedible cafeteria food.
• Less pay: I actually didn't feel like I 'wanted' more money, but the job I took after IBM paid over 30% more than IBM.
• Currently very low morale: In the last 3 years or so, all the 'water cooler' talk has been negative and depressing.
• Lack of long-term friendships: Because of all the turnover, layoffs, and people moving around, 100% of my friends had since come and gone.
• Embarrassing to say I work at IBM: Because of all the cons, it got to a point where it was embarrassing to say I worked for IBM when speaking with neighbors.

I don't think management cares.
