Pros

IBM experience would help when looking for a job with another company.

Cons

IBM fails to make appropriate investments in assets, at the risk of exposing customers to sub-standard facilities and/or risk for the services provided.

Advice to Management

Many in management have financial backgrounds only, without technical expertise in the area in which they work.

Often, required investments are not made. But when the problem gets to a much higher level, you are asked how this happens.

Then, at the annual evaluation, you are told you did not contribute enough, hence a reduced rating. By forcing lower evaluations, IBM does not feel you merit a raise.

The work expectations for a single individual often exceed what one person can possibly do, often requiring people to work 60-hour work weeks.
