Pros
  • Flexible timings.
  • Some really good work happens in some projects.
Cons

Your manager's word is final, and he is the godfather.

No compensation.

No growth. If you want growth, get out of the company and come back in.

Very few good people are left to have healthy relationships; negativity is everywhere.

I have been with this company for nearly 7+ years and can't believe that IBM could fall to such low standards (no coffee, office supplies, etc.). But they spend a lot on business travel, Hertz cabs, AMEX expenditures, etc.

If you complain to managers, they say IBM is huge; we can't have simple policies, and everything you say will fall on deaf ears.

Advice to Management

IBM Employees make it special. This should be in actions, not just words.
