Pros

Incredible work flexibility, unlimited work at home and sick days, and the opportunity to work on cool projects for big-name customers.

Cons

Since our new CEO took over in 2013, morale has been decimated. Good business units have been sold off, others are mismanaged into the ground. It is very difficult to get a bonus, a pay raise, or a promotion. To top it off, our software engineering salaries have stagnated below the national average. Local management teams have almost no leeway to give an employee a raise or promotion to keep them on the team.

Advice to Management

Stop the constant layoffs, pay your employees at least the industry average for their job roles/skills, and ditch Ginni Rometty.
