IBM

It was a good place to work when I first started in 1998. They used to pay for tuition reimbursement and provide professional classes every year. The bonuses were good, and it was a good environment to work in.

With the recent job cuts, morale for US employees has gone down. The goal is to get US-based employees below 100K and increase the headcount in India, which is already above 90K. Most employees work way too much overtime, and most are stressed out. Many people are worried about losing their jobs. There is no work-life balance at IBM. Most people work from home. Most managers are not qualified to be managers and lack the education or certification in management.

Management really needs to treat employees like human beings instead of a serial number.

I would encourage management to look at the big picture and do what is ethical.
