IBM

Core IBM is a great company. As a whole, IBMers are probably the nicest group of people I have ever worked with. Everyone in Core IBM has a lot of integrity and an excellent work ethic.

Health care benefits are very good.

Baton Rouge IBM is a great place to start if you're fresh out of college. It's a major resume boost, and you really do learn a lot on projects.

The Baton Rouge CIC is quite possibly the worst part of IBM.

Most managers are unable or unwilling to do their jobs.

The pay is shockingly low, and "promotions" are insultingly small.

I received a "promotion" and it was only a $3000/yr increase.

I spend a lot of weekends working, and I usually don't get home until 9 PM.

I calculated my hourly rate: it's $14/hr, before taxes.

Baton Rouge CIC is a great place to start, but not a place to stay.

Get in, get your experience, get out.

Practice managers could really benefit from some training.

An Employee Retention Plan (if you have one) needs an upgrade.
