IBM Client Engineering reviews

Lack of stability. Recent layoffs have really hurt the business - not sure of the future. Focus is on short term results only. No looking to the future.

Publicly owned, very traditional and risk-averse, it's a company focused on cost-savings, integrated vertical business processes and global cross policies and operations. In summary, to avert risk, it's a very slow-moving, traditional and predictable organization. It would take 20 people just to change a light bulb, another 20 to bill the customer and 5 others to audit the whole process. The result of this is that there is very little room for individualism, risk-takers, good use of intuition and real-time response to an dynamic market. "Innovation" in go-to-market routes, products and disruptive strategy is mostly done through acquisitions, despite the large investment in R&D (which sometimes is watered down due to our slow time-to-market).
