Too much bureaucracy
IBM is a very comfortable place to work. It has good benefits and fitness programs for its employees.
It is "top heavy" and has a lot of bureaucracy. It's very hard to get promoted unless you're buddy-buddy with your manager. It's not very fair sometimes because the managers don't really know their people well.
Get to know the people doing the work and not just listen to their selling points.
