Pros

The company has excellent values, take it seriously and give you opportunities to advance on carreer and learn a lot.

Cons

Cost, cost, cost - not able to take a cab without proper approval. And results management is falling down - in the past decisions were taken to create long term value. Now it's just to close quarter.

Pros

- Good work environment - Team co-workers are always willing to help you when something big arises

Cons

- IBM likes to use a bunch of white lies when you are under interviews (such as career plan). I was promoted after 4 years working in the company and my salary still the same (always having good/excellent PBC 2/2+ rate). The only thing which was increased was my work load and my inbox :-) - Each IBM department is a completely new world in terms of effort recognition, opportunity, etc (so you end up being in a lottery game where you never know what the result will be). - A negative work/life balance rate (team leaders bringing you work for weekend all the time).
