Pros

Very flexible on work location.

Big, big company; can move around and experience different areas.

Cons

Poor bonuses and raises, even for a "1" rating multiple years in a row.

Project management does not know anything technical or how to coordinate development.

Executives do not act like they value engineers.

The climate is terrible, and there is no investment in the work facility, making people not want to be around the office.

Advice to Management

Reverse 401k decision.

Clean out the "working at IBM 30+ yrs but doesn't do anything anymore" crowd.

Reward top contributors competitively.
