      Don't even consider working for this company

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent salary and good people as fellow employees as long as they aren't in management

      Cons

      Senior Management and executives have zero clue about what they are doing to destroy a once proud American ICON of "the right way" to do business ... it has become a cesspool in the last 20 years ...once proud to be an "IBMer" now I try not to have to mention it.

      Will the last US IBM employee standing please turn off the lights and water the plants.

      Pros

      By far, the best reason to work for IBM is the flexibility to work from home. And perhaps it will look good on your resume.

      Cons

      Non-existent bonuses. 1-2% pay raises (at most). Incompetent management. IBM is offshoring much work to India, Brazil and Argentina. Management is fully committed to reducing the US workforce to a bare minimum.

      Read this before you join IBM

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Name recognition on a resume. If you do join, don't stay long; a couple of years max, then move on to some other company with better prospects.

      Cons

      Incompetent upper management. Executives are more interested in driving the stock price up in the next quarter to line their pockets, than to plan for the company's long-term prospects. Most senior management is completely clueless on the technical front and rely on underpaid and overworked folks in the trenches to do all of the hard work. Powerpoint presentations are ubiquitous and long (100+ slides in a presentation are not unusual), and people spend months and months between pre-pre-reviews and pre-reviews before the final review.
