IBM

Part of a global team. Lots of knowledge available.

I worked on the release of a project that was behind schedule. Hundreds of people that I worked with were forced to work six and seven days a week in order to stay employees. We did this for a year until the project was released.

Additionally, while being forced to work these many hours, many of our coworkers were laid off right before the release of the 2011 earnings. Surely, this was done for number crunching with stockholders. The burden fell on us to make up for the hundreds of lost employees in the upcoming year.

Very disappointed with IBM. I never felt that my job was secure in any way at this company.

Encourage freedom and enjoyment in the job. Lighten up the atmosphere and make the place more flavorful. Everything is "boxy."
