Pros

Solid company with interesting opportunities for young employees go are interested in technology systems. Good, and established procedures. Companies core values are important to all levels, and are shared with all the companies´ environment. They have an "employee club" that organizes events, and seeks for benefits for workers.

Cons

As it is the case of many large coorporations, task can be too specific in certain positions, and some times too monotonous (boring), which can make it difficult to outstand from the croud. There is not much feed-back for operational positions. Compensations are not very competitive. Sometimes it feels there is over share for meaningless information, but not much about important issues.

Pros

The opportunity to work for such a global company. IBM sets the pace in many technology sectors. Skills learned here are in high demand outside of IBM. As a software engineer got to work on latest and greatest web technologies and got a job really quickly after leaving IBM. I was able to rotate around to different software brands building a good portfolio of knowledge of software offerings. From development to application software.

Cons

the BIG in Big Blue. Sometimes feel kind of distant. Most of HR is taken care in a central place, e.g Raleigh, NC. Also most people are very good at what they do making promotions kind of hard to attain.

Pros

Good Benefits. Good first line managers.

Cons

Products are rushed out the door before being ready. As a technician I have to deal with unhappy customers every day because the products are sold before being ready.
