IBM Hates Contractors
IBM Hates Contractors
For a contractor, there are no pros to working there. The people at IBM are actually very pleasant. It is the culture that needs improvement.
IBM is not concerned with any of its contract employees. Workforce reductions and furloughs do little to improve overall morale. The culture at IBM is all about meeting IBM financials, with little apparent regard to customer needs. Contract employees are told not to discuss workforce reductions with the customers they support. Why? Those customers would most likely get upset if they knew the level of support they should be getting has been reduced.
Instead of implementing contractor furloughs, simply rate all contractors and dismiss those contractors that rate the lowest. Eliminating excess management positions, hiring GOOD project managers, and eliminating non-performers would improve performance, morale, and ultimately improve the margins IBM is so desperate to make.

The interview process was fine, but it was drawn out because many of the Human Resources functions are now run from Costa Rica, and approval from corporate US headquarters in Armonk is required.
