IBM

• Flexible working hours
• Can work at home
• Some very bright technical staff
• Good place to start a career, but don't stay any longer than 3 years.

• IBM is eating itself from the inside out with cost cutting to meet corporate EPS targets.
• Staff education is virtually abandoned, barring online courses.
• There is a gradual reduction in the UK workforce as jobs are transferred to Eastern Europe, China, and India.
• Staff celebrations are rare, and when they happen, you have to pay for the food. This is no different for the 100-year company anniversary.
• Pay rises are well behind inflation or non-existent. Within three years of starting, graduates commonly find themselves earning less than new grad starters (where IBM has to pay closer to market rates).
• The yearly PBC appraisal system demands a fixed number of underperformers to be identified, who must "improve" on some arbitrary measure or face removal via a separation package.
• There is plenty of bad blood remaining after various pension measures in 2009 caused many older staff to leave.

Perhaps it would be best to sell your shares before the company pays the price for years of living on past glories.
