IBM used to be a good place to work
IBM used to be a good place to work
- Good work/life balance (of course depending on your organization and role) - Good people - Good vacation
- Pay is below competitors.
- Benefits are no longer competitive: there is no longer any 401k match, health care costs for a family of 5 end up being around $12,000-$14,000 per year out of pocket, and there are no other significant benefits.
- Management told to rate people arbitrarily as low performers based on how many people need to be fired.
- Constant fear of resource actions, performance improvement plans, changes to benefits, increased workloads, and random major changes to process without input from stakeholders.
- Everything is pushing towards decreased productivity and market competitiveness.
- Senior leadership is not good and has been frequently violating our own business conduct guidelines in recent all-hands meetings.
Senior management needs to all be replaced.
