Pros
  • Very competitive pay.
  • Very knowledgeable and collaborative teams.
  • All kinds of online educational courses to take and get certified, or to just learn about something new.
Cons
  • Must be located near an IBM office, although some still do work from home.
  • Tend to close various Europe offices and then restart somewhere else, causing existing teams to cover until new offices can be staffed and trained.
  • Constant layoffs cause a lot of turnover and anxiety for many.
  • Employees are doing the work of 2-3 people, which gets very old. They need to hire more people.
Advice to Management

Re-invest in your greatest asset (your employees) and stop catering to short-term goals of stockholder dividends. There needs to be a better balance!
