Once was great - not so much anymore
Once was great - not so much anymore
Technically challenging projects for large customers.
Definitely a great opportunity to learn on the job.
Enjoyed working at IBM for the first 10 years, but the last few were unpleasant.
Forced work on weekends (no pay).
Utilization targets that mean you have to work overtime (no pay) before you can take vacation.
All training is on your own time.
Morale is very low.
Low compensation and bonus is a joke.
Very disappointed in what IBM has become, and now that I left, I see just how bad I was being treated.
Wish I had left a few years ago.
Before I left, I spent several months trying to understand why I should stay (I wanted to stay), but the only reasons were to get the pension (if you were on the old plan) or waiting to get the "Resource Action package".
Management should be looking at how their delivery teams will be able to sustain the current cost-cutting focus without driving all our customers away.
