      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      great package, pension benefit, flexible trust based approach

      Cons

      this new mandate in US to go 3 days a week in the office is putting off a lot of workers who have long commute times. Other than that, IBM is a great company to work for.

      Terrible HR system

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fair compensation, nice people and some of the subsidiaries have some great tech.

      Cons

      IBM have made all their HR team redundant and replaced it with a bot that links to their documentation. I am 6 weeks into to job and I do not have access to expense system, any benefit systems (including pension) and have missed out on the employee stock window at no fault of my own. This is a shocking way to treat new employees and the company should be embarrassed.
