IBM

Benefits, salary, and incentives for certifications and company-sponsored learning (wide availability of courses).

Very verticalized career plan, sometimes it feels like climbing the company is an impossible mission. No matter how good your performance with the client, the promotion process is held hostage by the manager. I've seen cases of people staying 2 years without any raise and in the same team, while developers get one per year. It depends a lot on the friendship you have with your manager.

Home office imposed without the benefits of home office requested by the company.

Another point is the pressure regarding hours, there is no flexibility at all. Depending on the client you work with, your personal life takes a backseat (client first, IBM second, you third).

Acredito que existem oportunidades de melhorias. Promoções não podem ficar somente a critério do gestor. Essa prática estimula perseguições e cria um ambiente onde os mais tímidos, mesmo aqueles que colaboram bastante dentro do time, ficam em desvantagem se comparados aos "amigos do chefe".
