IBM

"I have worked for IBM for 28 years. I could have accepted a job anywhere, but I was promised "full employment" and "respect for the individual." We were told "family first, then God, then work." My how things have changed. I pay $1400/mo. for benefits that have high deductibles and co-pays ... management does not care about their employees anymore .. the future is bleak. I have to say, the first 20 years were pretty great .. management was very supportive of me being a working Mom. When our department got downsized, I was forced to move to a new area. It is a sweatshop. Management does not care about their employees, or give any appreciation for all of the hard work that is done. (I'm not talking monetary bonus, I'm talking "good job.") .... I plan to start looking for another job .. I'm just too miserable here"

"I've been with this company for over 30 years and have seen its glory days as well as been through its worst times. The company has become one to put on your resume but depend on where you enter in and who you know - don't expect much career wise."

"I worked here for 5 years and wish I hadn't stressed so much about my maternity leave. my team was supportive."

"Don't be afraid to ask"

"In my experience, IBM does a very good job of encouraging employees to maintain a healthy work/life balance. Vacation and family time are respected and encouraged. As a work from home employee who is responsible for arranging my own calendar, I am able to manage my responsibilities with relative ease. Women are a minority in the company (nature of the history/industry) but that is slowly changing. Overall, a good place to work."
