Pros

Great opportunities to work on important products.

Cons

Too many managers looking to their own benefit rather than the company, and too many up line managers who listen to them.

Pros

Huge network, ability to move around within the company. Mostly great people. Predictable culture. Rewarded with promotions for exercising my passion, following my interests. Have to admire a company that knows how to sustain itself for decades.

Cons

Exasperating organizational infighting and agendas are to be expected within this vast company, despite a facade of collaboration. I wish it seemed genuine. Workload increasing too steadily to work on career advancement. Seeing I will have to sell my work-life balance to reach the next level. Fear I'll be politely shuffled out the door in 10 years anyway, for costing too much.

Pros

Work hour flexibility, benefits, global company.

Cons

Bureaucracy, no free water or coffee, expensive cafeteria. Not a fun place to work for. Burnout due low salaries and late working hours, zero rewards. Salaries more depends on politics not on performance.Spineless managers. Lack of leadership. Architects at higher level lack vision, there is no new product from IBM. It acquires innovation rather than develop it in house. Failed products from Architects. IBM is no longer about Machine. It's about services.
