Pros

Professional company with a long history and skilled employees. IBM provided decent benefits for people that hired on 5+ years ago. IBM deals in many different software/hardware areas and has great research groups.

Cons

The jobs are leaving the US to India and China. I left because the only jobs I could get was to manage development projects by developers in India. It is not rewarding to work with people that don't have the same drive and interest to innovate.

Pros

- wonderful people to work with - caring managers

Cons

- benefits diminished over the years - always cutting back means smaller teams, getting less done, frustration due to limitations - company doesn't seem to care as much about its people as it used to - more eager to offshore work to lower wage countries, than to hire US employees

Pros

Good benefits. Online training available. If you're fortunate enough to be dealing with new research, it can be fascinating and exciting work.

Cons

Quota system for performance ratings (X% must fail). Yearly layoffs in US disguised as "resource adjustments". Emphasis on following process rather than innovating.
