Pros

The paycheck and the exercise. There were also a few people who were decent and amusing. Not much else.

Cons

The big challenge was to hold onto my sanity and to keep my sense of equilibrium.

This place is a concentrated zone of egghead jerks, patronizing phonies, and assorted whackos. It's Cyborg America at its most grotesque.

Advice to Management

At least:

  • Introduce variety to alleviate the terrible effects of endless repetition.
  • Teach the importance of positive reinforcement.
  • Teach better conflict-resolution skills.

If any company needs a total psychological overhaul, it's IBM.
