IBM reviews

As in every corporation, you'll have to play a lot of corporate games. That basically implies investing a lot of time on initiatives you know are worth for nothing. And believe me, there will always be a new one. It's absolutely frustrating. Cost, cost, and cost. Everything is about cost reduction and getting budget for anything is really hard. Bonus are a joke, unless you're in sells or any other incentive plan. But for the rest, you can work your hands to the bone, be the top performer employee, and your yearly performance bonus ends up being something like 25% of a monthly salary. Employee benefits tend to zero. Do not expect ever to get not a single free coffee, any merchandising, gym at facilities, ends-year party, or any other type of policies to make you feel part of the company. The strategy is just other.

Hard to find true mentors, there is lot of information when you want to fork your career, however there are not true knowledge. Management does not care a lot about employee's growth unless you got yourself a true manager.
