Pros

Work-life balance is great at IBM. In my department, management allows employees to be flexible with their schedules. You may have to work during off-hours or weekends but can easily manage your work and home life.

Cons

IBM used to be a great company to work for, but not anymore.

I have been with IBM for more than 30 years and have watched the decline.

You will not see raises or any financial incentives anymore at IBM.

They have constant resource actions (firings) looking for cheaper employees.

I would not recommend IBM as a place to work.

New hires can expect to be resourced within a couple of years of starting their employment.

Advice to Management

Ginni needs to value her employees more. This company, and Ginni's pay/bonuses, would not exist without the hard work and dedication of the employees.
