Good place to work if you want a stable environment

Advisory software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Room for advancement, stable company with global opportunities. Management has gone through alot of trouble to make sure the HR infrastructure is tailored to helping employees develop their careers. IBM has alot of talented employees that are easy to reach out to and get help.

Cons

Bureaucracy is almost engrained in IBM's corporate culture. IBM is slow to react to changes in the industry. There are so many parts of IBM that sometimes act independently, or even worse, to each other's detriment. There is much confusion inside of IBM as to where the boundaries are between groups.

Pros

It's software technology and patent portfolio are impressive. At IBM you can work on software projects ranging from mainframes to PCs and the disciplines vary from firmware, operating system and compiler development. Development labs are scattered but multi site software development has been something that IBM has always embraced and known how to do. Being close to IBM Almaden was good as we could cross polinate with research and bring some of the research ideas into products, sometimes very successfully but other times not so. IBM seems to have its fingers in every pie and this was one of the reasons why it appealed to me to work there.

Cons

Outsourcing threats. Building up teams outside of the United States in China and India.
