Pros

If you are 'lucky' to work on a challenging project, then IBM is for you.

The people in Romania are mostly very young, fresh out of university.

The salary is okay, but if you want a raise, you have to convince a lot of people and make a 'package'.

You have other benefits like healthcare insurance, 50% off your sports monthly pass, and other discounts on brands.

Cons

The managers are always trying too hard to please the client.

Some leads are very demanding, and you have no chance to report them because it will come back at you.

Instead of making the 'package' for a raise, it's easier to leave (because they don't fight to keep you) and come back after 6 months or a year with a 30% raise.

The 'benefits' are not really considerable.

Advice to Management

Make quarterly reviews on employees and team leads and ask for possible problems before they become frustrations.
