Great people, very good benefits, flexible hours, growth opportunity, and stress
The people are great – some of the best in the industry in terms of work ethic, can-do attitude, helpfulness, and competency.
The work environment is pretty good: cubes, decent equipment, comfortable, and an on-site cafeteria with decent food.
Vacation: I've worked with IBM for 25 years and get 5 weeks paid vacation, plus sick leave.
The corporate focus is to make money for the shareholders and executives.
Employees are simply expendable resources and are squeezed to do way too much with way too little.
If you're not a top performer, your life can be miserable until you quit or are forced out.
I don't think profits would drop that much if IBM were to get folks to work reasonable hours and simply hire on more help to cover.
I do not think that running in "crisis" mode all the time gets the best out of your employees in the long run.
