Pros

Limited choice of companies in NZ forces us to work with such employers

Cons

Senior Management is unfair and uses pressurizing and threatining tactics so employees leave without getting appraisal or bonus.

Pros

Umm, the good reasons have gone. I am about to start another job after being headhunted.

Cons

IBM has huge slow processes that often annoy customers in the process. Feel very much like just a number at IBM, They have a great idea of regular performance / career reviews, however Mgmnt will not follow up on these, we get fobbed off or commonly told there is no budget for it so it ends up as just another annual requirement that a manager must tick off without being accountable....Pay rises of less than 1% annually (even after receiving top rated annual reviews).
