IBM

There are good opportunities, experiences, and exposure for new employees. It's a great place to start to gain some experience before moving on to another opportunity.

Continuous layoffs and work demand - I am often required to work long hours and must give up vacation time in order to meet the schedules. The company seems obsessed with micro-managing the employees doing the work and having TONS of people to track the progress with charts. The company is huge and well-established, but the last 10 years or so has been a real whirlwind.

There are continual layoffs every couple of years. The departments get disbanded, the employees get laid off, but yet the managers get promoted or moved on to other opportunities.

Empower the employees and get rid of all the micromanaging middle managers.
