      pro and cons at IBM

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work hours are flexible as long as you can get your work done. The managment understands life and work balance. There are oppurtunities for advancement and that needs you to intiate the process with upper managment. You're encourged to take on site course whenever it's available. If you're lucky you might get your own office but sometimes you might need to share an office with another collegue. There are no cubicle at the SVL location.

      Cons

      IBM might not work for young professional because there is not a real energetic culture there and no free food there. I thought there would be finanial aid with tuiation help for training course at an educational instituation but I thought the process was diffifcult becuase it needed to a few level up management for approval. Sometimes you're expected to work long hours to get your work done.

      IBM's current leaders only care for themselves.

      Pros

      Salary, company resources, business reputation.

      Cons

      IBM does not value its employees. Treats people like commodities. Senior management view themselves at the chosen ones, and the rest of us as "resources". In my view, they have no morals, no character and no soul. They are not creators of wealth and jobs, rather they are exploiters. In the past, I have seen some great leaders at IBM. No more. I think the future of IBM as a company is not good. The present culture is not sustainable. They are throwing away too many good people. I remain thankful for the years I have had at IBM and hope to remain employed there for a few more years. I could not in good conscience recommend it to anyone else.
