IBM

Home office, flexible work hours, access to lots of information and products.

If you are efficient with your work/time, you can learn new stuff.

Computers tend to not have the performance you need to perform the job; refreshes every 3-5 years.

IBM will not prepare you for the job; it does not want you to move fast. It is a sales corporation, more than IT.

You do not get points for doing technical work. You get points for brown-nosing and letting everybody know you are the "something" guy (even when you don't know it).

Management is bad, catastrophically bad, with very few exceptions.

Tell the truth to employees on where they can get in a time frame; do not build false hopes. People will leave eventually. Just make sure they know what they will be given, and they may not leave angry.
