IBM

If you're able to find the right team, sometimes you'll have coworkers who are understanding of work-life balance and managers who are sympathetic and genuinely want to see you grow.

The benefits (namely the PTO, sick leave, and health insurance) suck. I haven't gotten a bonus in three years, and the only bonus I got was a whopping $450, which feels like a huge slap in the face. Pay is abysmal compared to other tech companies. Crappy, bullying behavior is rewarded if there's a manager who enables or can't stand up to that behavior. You have NO say in your manager's performance. People rarely get promoted, if ever. The CEO is trying to force us back into the office even though we've been doing our jobs from home this entire time (and doing them well at that) and has sidestepped criticism and seeking employee input on the matter. This is par for the course for IBM leadership, sidestepping the stuff that actually matters to its employees. All of the above has led me to search for other opportunities at other companies.

There needs to be less middle management, less bloated jobs that are quite frankly useless and don't really serve any tangible purpose. Pay us more, give us actual bonuses, let us work remotely, and give us more than 20 days' PTO and 7 days' sick leave.
