Pros

100% matching 401k and 100% paid health. Unlimited sick leave and flexibility allowed regarding the use of vacations. There isn't a lot of positives regarding working here and the morale is quite low. There are some decent projects, but they are few and far between.

Cons

Terrible projects and inability to roll off. The projects are not consulting, but they are contracting. Therefore, you are limited in what you can accomplish professionally as a consultant. Many individuals resign in due to the inability to roll off a project.

Pros

Diversity, IBM is a very inclusive place - Work/Life Balance is great with lots of options for mobile working

Cons

Slow career advancement - As all big companies the bureaucracy could be optimized, process overkill -You pretty much make your own career, there are a lot of possibilities but you need to make it yourself.

Pros

Industry-leading technology. Good benefits and stable work environment (mainly because it's a large company). Very flexible about work schedules as long as work is completed. Good balance of work and personal life. Solid multi-site communication.

Cons

Senior management is detached from employee feedback. Job satisfaction largely depends on the quality of your first-line manager. My direct manager is particularly good at recognizing employee contributions, but I rarely see that extend beyond his level.
