      Pros

      The company offers amazing flexibility and worklife balance

      Cons

      Poor compsenation, Promotions are based upon popularity rather then performance. Mgmt is aggressive in nature and try to overload there employees with work. When there is push back your performance rating is affected. Tons of offshore outsourcing which causes a slew of mistakes which then comes back to employees in Canada to resolve. Morale is very low causing top talent to go else where.

      No longer a good employer for technical career. A husk hollowed out by corporate.

      Pros

      Good reputation, and plenty of scope for taking different roles and moving around. Generally very good quality colleagues to work with - there is very little 'dead wood' here apart from the internal IBM bureaucracy.

      Cons

      Poor morale due to promised bonuses and payrises not being delivered to high performers, despite record profits. Constant pressure to book all hours of the week, but no overtime and scant recognition either financial or otherwise. In particular the management are driving the environment and morale to the bottom to encourage higher levels of voluntary attrition. Mobility requirement in services business puts a lot of pressure on family life and there's no understanding or appreciation from any level of management. That's OK if compensation and morale is good - but it isn't.
