IBM

Elevators, good chairs, good lighting, a nice view from upper floors, a nice lobby, and a little coffee nook to ponder one's escape. It is in the nice little city of Dubuque.

More dysfunctional than most large companies I have worked at.

Leadership is provided by "professional managers" with no IT sense.

If you enjoy changing and tracking your passwords, you'll like it here. Not 5 or 6, but 40 constantly expiring.

India coworkers are 12 hours away, and many are difficult to understand.

Prepare to give up all of your personal digits to anonymous requests from the many clients across the globe to secure your personal access to their data systems.

Get rid of useless first-line managers and listen to your team leads.
