Pros

The benefits that the company gives you, such as medical assurance, free time, home office, and further plans for when you get old (I don't know the name in English for it).

The English learning is very good. Here in Brazil, working at IBM, we can learn English better because we work with Americans and Indians, and it forces us to learn the language.

In the company's intranet, we have a lot of courses that we can try to do and maybe get a certification in a specific technology. It is good for the company as well, in my opinion.

Cons

The salary, for sure!

The promotions are so sad. You receive an increase of R$30.00 per year in your monthly payment.

The most sad things, in my opinion, are the salary, promotions, and the gift of the year. This is a kind of money that we receive, calculated as a function of the company's profits during the last year. In this year, 2009, for example, I received about R$300.00. It is less than 1/3 of my monthly payment.

In a company that has huge profits compared to other companies, we receive such a sad gift that it lets us demotivated to work at the company, and we work a lot! A lot of hours!

Advice to Management

To invest more in the remuneration of the employees.
