IBM

Even if individual managers do not necessarily understand the rights of their employees (some do, some don't, like in any large org), systemically the rights of the employees seem protected. A far sight from perfect, but better than any other place I've worked.

IBM is, as it has always been, a place where it takes a long time for the average guy to make good money. I've seen many young managers handed great responsibility while making far less than their run-of-the-mill employees.

Also, the pension isn't any good, especially the one for new employees.

The screws are tightening to the point where I've seen a lot of talent go out the door. Talking to them later, I've heard very little in the way of regret for leaving. We're retaining our tier 2 employees, but not our best and brightest. Compensation is the issue.
