The Ups and Downs of IBM
The Ups and Downs of IBM
Great place to work if you're a software engineer. You will have a job for life.
Work/life balance is great. Pay is fair.
Lots of vacation and paid time off. Good benefits.
If you're a hardware engineer, you will have to be in the right group, or you will always have to worry about the next layoff, which happens every year like clockwork.
Upper management is lost and appears to have no clue what they are doing. Apparently, the only way they can make money is to lay people off.
You have 15 layers of management. That is insane.
Bring back respect for the individual.
Your people are your backbone and your future. Try taking care of them.
