Pros

IBM has called the school of the talent people in the intelligence technology. In Japan, the educational system is the best. Enployees can learn the skill. In Japan, offsharing of programming proceeds and they can work near the top management as time passes.

Cons

This is the big company in the Japan. As a result, some sectors will become downside.In addition, big company symdorom harms employees. They can take only the small size of jobs. IBM is the big company but it forgets the animal spirits. they have to work more and more because small companys which have the great skill overcome it.

Pros

Cool technology (depends on the team/group/product you work on). I've been fortunate to have worked on a team that provided man PoCs for Fortune500 companies.

Cons

I've also been unfortunate to work for a very lame and useless team as well. You could really feel yourself losing braincells by the minute. Mgmt was waaaaaaay to old! They were very out of sync w/ employees, technology, etc.

Pros

Benefits are excellent. Job flexibility in where you work, when you work, how you work are very positive reasons to be at IBM. Also, there are very smart and engaging people to work with who have high standards and moral integrity.

Cons

You can feel just like another number. Constant threat of outsourcing has hurt morale and job security is a thing of the past. Teamwork is also lacking because at the end of the day, most employees feel like its they have to look out for themselves. Thus, atmosphere has become more cut-throat and ultimately, a lot of employees have lost any sense of loyalty.
