IBM

Stable - fits the "just do my job" kind of person. Great access to self-study resources, if you find the time. I miss my ThinkPad. I miss Sametime. It's a great tool to connect with any subject matter expert in the organization. And they're usually quite friendly.

Stable - don't rock the boat culture.

IBM brags of innovation and all, but the culture doesn't reflect it. Many good ideas never saw the light of day.

Malaysia was (and is?) seen as a low-cost, and hence, unfairly, low-skilled location. Great developers never got the recognition they deserved and have since left.

I myself have been passed over for a Bravo award just because of the numbers game.

Some managers need to get past their obsession with the hierarchical organization.

Your developers aren't complaining; they're telling you what you need to hear.
