IBM

Great people who are very passionate about what they do and the products that they work on. Easy to collaborate with peers.

The work environment has become toxic with continual downsizing of great people.

Work-life balance has become a thing of the past, as those left behind have to pick up the responsibilities of those who have been let go.

Good performance does not seem to matter to those making the decisions; everyone is just a number to them.

Company performance is highly dependent on the well-being of the people doing the work – the people who care about the work they do and the people they work with. IBM no longer has the values the company was founded on, namely the importance of its people. Maybe re-prioritizing these values could save it, but it may be too late to retreat out of the downward spiral, which is a shame.
