IBM

Top-notch work-life balance in my line of work (IT development). I've been a work-from-home employee since I joined IBM.

People around me and in other departments that I deal with are very professional. I rarely see office politics. I never saw intimidation, negativity towards other people, etc. First and second-line managers are always straightforward with us.

The company is genuinely interested in diversity.

I have a very decent market-rate pay package.

Lots of learning opportunities if you are interested. Since IBM owns numerous software development tools, they are at your disposal, free to use to further your knowledge and career.

In US locations, I see new project opportunities drying up.

There is a lot of administrative work involved in my job as a software developer and technical lead.

There is more operational work than new development opportunities due to cutbacks and offshoring.

We need to take more risks and invest in new projects instead of cutting back.
