      IBM doesn't care about its workers

      Pros

      Flexible work schedule and the ability to work at home. Communication and technology surpasses most other companies.

      Cons

      Sr Mgmt cares little about workers. They are seen as dispensible. IBM states they are fair in evaluations but then they put limits on the ratings employees can receive. IBM is claiming they are leading the way in salaries but their marketing tool is that they are now bringing salaries up to the midpoint of industry standards. In the end, it is shareholders that IBM cares about - not the workers. Its a tough environment to excel compared to your peers while still balancing work life issues.

      Not willing to spend money for skilled workers.

      Pros

      Work Life Balance. You can easily schedule things during the work day that you need to take care of and make up the time after hours.

      Cons

      Getting any sort of raise is like pulling teeth. IBM spends a lot of time pushing for you to enjoy life while working. They offer most employee's the option to work from home. The only problem with this is that you have so much work to do that you end up working more from home. The method they use to measure employee utilization is also very flawed. They end up pushing people beyond limits with work which causes the quality of work to suffer. Upper management is always looking for the quick fix to increase profits. But not willing to spend money.
