IBM Employee

"I've worked for IBM for about 9 years and I find it to be a strong company, however I do believe the company would receive more business if their rates weren't so high. This would also keep the company at a manageable employee head count. High prices and not enough personnel to fulfill maintenance obligations is weighing heavy on clients and employees."
