Pros

IBM has great work life balance and many career opportunities - being such a large company, it is not difficult to change career paths by finding a different position within the organization. You are treated like an adult - and as long as the job gets done, noone looks over your shoulder. Lots of work from home opportunities and flexible working hours are offered.

Cons

takes time to get promoted

Pros

Great brand name on resume. Fair Pay. Great Time Off. Good Travel Opportunities. Flexible Work Schedule for the most part. Generally 40-45 hours per week. Consistent raises and bonuses Job Security

Cons

Slow advancement. Very little correlation between performance and pay / promotions. No one really takes an interest in career goals (they will pay lip service, but no follow up). Needs of short term projects take precedence over desire for career growth. Bait and Switch during hiring process.

Grueling hours if you let them boss you around; little to no pay raises; low wages; they will outsource you overseas in a heartbeat; little communication from upper management; billions in net income yet very little to boost pay; poor quality of work provided to clients due to understaffing of accounts.
