      Employees make IBM great.

      Pros

      Sharp, sometimes brilliant, colleagues; opportunities to talk with colleagues in different jobs/divisions within the company and learn from them about latest trends in developing technology and what customers and business partners are doing. At IBM the employees are first-rate -- really creative and smart.

      Cons

      The workload is overwhelming. I have worked 70-hour weeks for years, and still can't accomplish everything I want to do to feel satisfied with my job. I am at the highest level of non-executive employee, and everyone at my level feels that we have targets on our backs -- IBM is trying to remove highly paid people in Western countries and hire less competent people in developing countries.

      The appearance does not represent the truth.

      Pros

      Opportunity to expose to different industries. Theoretically, you can "changed" job but still working for the same company. As one on the largest IT service provider in the world, you have a lot chances to work for the job you are fond of, if you know the way. In addition, you can leverage on the their information database, you can gain immense knowledge from the intranet.

      Cons

      Compensation is mediocre if not bad. Had been hearing some complaints that there is no pay rise for "performing satisfactory", although it's still subject to other factors like country, pay comparison to peer. Profit sharing scheme like stocks can be neglected compare to my ex-employment in another MNC.

      Neutral on the topic of IBM.

      Pros

      Usually, there are good opportunities to learn and experience new things.

      Cons

      A person can get pigeonholed on a skill and be required to perform it over and over again. Just because a person is good at something doesn't mean that they want to continue to do it forever.
