IBM reviews

Excessive internal processes drain finite energy that ought to be directed toward customer and market success -- lots of burnout. Many different companies within one conglomerate -- not all brands are equally fulfilling to work with, and conflict between divisions can be more painful than external competition. Cheap about expenses etc. for those who travel (good luck eating on their meal allowances).

Bureaucracy, no respect for the employee, no straight talk, the stockholder has all the rights. All the raises seem to go with the younger recruits( less than 10 years) and the more senior people don't get much. IBM considers once an employee is hooked, there is no need to give more than needed. If you are a sales rep, understanding your sales plan and how much you will get paid is rocket science. IBM seems to manipulate the figures and raising the targets beyond reason so you get paid what they want you to get paid. All this trickles down to "save as much as possible for the stockholder".
