Pros

Established, profitable teams that embody true IBM values can create a great work environment with little politics or infighting and good co-workers.

Cons

Periodic, reactive, or self-centered mid/upper management decision-making has a tendency to cause layoffs. IBM is known to consistently pay employees below industry average for the privilege of working there. Bonuses and raises are rare, even for top performers, due to being tied to never-attainable company performance metrics.

Advice to Management

Pay discrepancies need to be addressed.

Short-term, myopic management decision-making needs to be punished, rather than rewarded.
