Get out and make money - have a life again
IBM is not what it was, and there are no pay raises. Poor working conditions and layoffs every spring are depressing. These are the good things about the job!
Technology is old. The cool new stuff does not take place in the lab in Ottawa. We are hacking through years and years of old code, trying to improve it or add a small, little feature. You will not be playing with the cool things unless you have a PhD.
Advice to all: Get out and get better pay, with raises and bonuses elsewhere. And the other thing is, stop moving teams around – it kills morale. I was there for 5 years and had 6 managers. Crazy!
