      IBM GBS offers a very hostile working environment and there is not compensation either financially or career-wise

      Pros

      Stability, biggest IT firm in the world, looks good on CV

      Cons

      Bad communication, managers with absolutely no people skills, sales/profit orientation with no regard to what the client really needs, too many lines of report internally and no support from management, level of competence leaves much to be desired, IBM is living on the laurels of years gone by, too much " cover your ass" policies hindering productivity and overwhelms managers

      The IBM company pays their employees with a low price for their services.

      Pros

      The benefits that the company gives you, as medical assurance, free time, home office and further plans of when you get old, I don't know the name in English for it. The english learn is very good. Here in Brazil working in IBM we can learn English better, cause we work with Americans and Indians guys and it forces ourselves to learn the language. In the intranet of the company we have a lot of courses that we can try to do and maybe get a certification in a specific technology, it is good in the company as well, my opinion.

      Cons

      The salary, for sure! The promotions are so sad... kind you receive a increase of R$30,00 per year in you monthly payment. The most sad thing in my opinion are the salary, promotions and the gift of the year, a kind of money that we receive calculated in function of the profits of the company during the last year, in this year 2009, for example I received about R$ 300,00 reais. It is less than 1/3 of my monthly payment. In a company that have a huge profits comparing with other companies and we receive a so sad gift that let us demotivated to work at the company, and we work a lot!!! A lot of hours!

      Pros

      Job Stability and health insurance. IBM insurance is one of the best in Brazil, but sometimes makes me think that we really need a nice health insurance because we usually work more than expected and have no fun at all. Patience is tested every day with new rules, cuting salaries and forcing a "I love the company" actitude.

      Cons

      The enterprise did not recognize the employees... makes billions and give the worst bonus ever for the employees, always teling that there is not enough money to give a good bonus. And always, after this speach, the enterprise buy a new company for millions of dollars...
