IBM – “Overworked and Under appreciated”

Pros

Great Global Connections. Leader in the forefront on green technology. Professional coworkers. Great for working from home or in mobile offices.

Cons

The culture at IBM is to work all day everyday. If you were to close your laptop and leave around 5ish you would feel guilty. Project Managers from other departments create additional work for the understaffed finance departments. Professional movement up the ladder is bureaucratic at best and very tough to do deal with.

Advice to Senior Management

Finance should be competitively paid compared to how much work we put into the business. The general headcount turnout is a revolving door due to people being ground up, and finding life/work balances at other corporations.
