Pros

It’s a job. Better than being unemployed. Sort of.

Cons

Worked in Sales for 10 years. It used to be great. Some of the best products in the market , great culture, etc. It’s now deteriorated into a toxic culture , employees are miserable , the company that once cared about its people now could not care less about them. If you are older worker you’ll be pushed out the door soon enough. But younger workers as your replacement ? They only last a couple years because it’s a terrible place to work As a Sales Rep you can be only as good as your products and they have let their products go to crap and aren’t even recognized as remote contenders in most areas because they are so outdated and bad. I had to leave because the toxic and stressful culture became too much to bear any longer. Company is lost. Pushing best people out the door while Mgt remains stale and useless .

Pros

We were initially thrilled to be acquired by IBM. However, the "Blue Washing" started immediately and destroyed everything good and unique about our company and product. While there are some good people (mostly waiting for retirement under the old pension plan), the work at home "benefit" and travel restrictions make it hard to meet them except on conference calls.

Cons

Terrible technology tools (Lotus Notes / Connections, W3 Intranet broken links, Expense Reporting) and a company run by Financial Engineering have destroyed everything good about IBM. Employee morale is awful with layoff after layoff, decreasing benefits and a culture of fear and mistrust. PBC rankings are used to deny raises and manage employees out yearly.
