Not what it used to be
Not what it used to be
IBM is a huge company, and because of that, there are many opportunities for long-term employees to go overseas to China or India, which are the only growth areas in IBM. They offer decent salaries after 20 years.
They are working towards a $20 per share earnings target by 2015.
That has resulted in very deep, often ill-advised cost-cutting.
There is no incentive to work hard, and the bonus salary plans have been gutted to meet the 2015 goal.
Employees come last at IBM; don't ever forget it.
Don't forget who got you where you are.
