Pros

Overrall IBM is a workplace where life and work are well balanced. The management is professional and friendly. The technology is new if it's not the most cutting-edge. If you're a person who thinks that life is equally or more important than work. IBM is an ideal place to work.

Cons

Career growth is not obvious to everyone. Unless you're quite aggressive. It takes longer time than other hyper companies for you to advance. Plus it's lagging behind in providing competitive compensation than those new companies. As a software developer, another thing I don't like is that the company's budget control is so tight, I cannot get my laptop, my supposed major workstation upgraded in 5 years. It's already an useless junk. Now I'm using my personal computer for company's work. That's right! I'm subsidizing the company to perform my daily job.

Pros

Good people. Exciting technology. Work-life balance for most of my time working there.

Cons

In the 80's and 90's, I think IBM still had a foundation based on respect for the individual. That seems to have gone by the wayside over the last ten years. The core of the company, the "IBMer" who signed on, and stayed loyally with the company for their entire career, is a thing of the past.
