Pros

Prestige, research, knowledge available to you (almost too much), complete services and software offerings, great value system. Strong attempt to support employees, but execution is often too routine.

Cons

Too much internal competition between certain groups and individual groups can often push their own agenda without regard to what you may be working on,hard to get other associate's attention sometimes for help due to pressures.

Pros

Work, life balance is realistic and very advantageous. Flexibility in work schedule and location is left to mobile employees giving you the opportunity to live anywhere in the world. Company is committed to social responsibility and maintains very competitive and liberal employment policies. Great corporate values.

Cons

Glass ceiling for associate partners. Still old boys network. Company needs to walk the talk. Lip service given to many real, day-to-day policies that employees are supposed to live by. Company often alters annual policies mid year making it difficult to live up to personal business commitments. Employees often bogged down by internal paperwork and bureaucracy making it difficult to get work done.

Pros

Excellent benefits, very fair promotion process, competitive salaries

Cons

There are limitations in the salary increase percentages available annually so some top peformers who have been with IBM for a while are not paid as much as people who are newly hired by IBM and who are not performing as well.
