IBM is not the place to be
IBM is not the place to be
None that I can think of. IBM has an attitude of wanting more for less. The ONLY people who matter are the shareholders. Employees are treated badly and expected to give their total commitment to a company that will suck you dry and then throw you away when you cannot keep up with the pressures of the work.
The ONLY good thing about the company is that the insurance package is good compared to some other companies, but even that is being whittled away year by year.
Equipment for actually doing the job is limited and of inconsistent quality. I even had to buy my own monitor, as the company refused to allow one because they did not feel it was required for me to actually do productive work.
Long hours, bad conditions, and more work for less pay. Management had a negative attitude.
Look to rebalance the company and push back on customers who are a pain.
