It's a trap

Pros

Work from home, working hour flexibility, GLBT friendly, learn a lot.

Cons

After 5 years of full dedication, being evaluated as an employee above the avarage for all the years.... I was told the company was going through a transfortmation and I was no longer needed. I joined IBM planning a careeer and they definetely dont know to keep employees motivated and help them creating the paths of a career. They just fire people for no reason and no respect at all. It´s all about the stakeholders, they dont give a damn or respect for the people working there.

Pros

Lots of hard work ( with no direction) so any job after this would look easy.

Cons

Feels like you are being pushed over. There is a set agenda which is pushed to you where your opinion doesn't count. Lot of politics and chaos where making people happy superficially is important to pursue once own career. Management is highly selfish and sitting to take advantage of people. Program director is good for nothing and expects others to move mountains.

Pros

Great global experience and access to knowledge bases. You will be amazed by the level of details on processes and complex internal networks and bureaucracy.

Cons

Poor salary, poor retaining methods, too many layers of approvers for simple processes discourage employees and potential customers of moving forward. People managers are not fully skilled and demotivate people by treating them with no respect.
