Keep your head down

Pros

IBM has talented people, a good reputation in the market, advances the business by investing in technology or creating alliances with strategic partners, and has a strong client base. From an employee perspective, the benefits are good.

Cons

There is bureaucracy throughout the company that makes it difficult to advance. I realized pretty quickly that some people were basically waiting their time for retirement, and just keep their head down and collect a paycheck every month. There is little incentive for them to innovate or contribute more than what is asked or expected.

Pros

Good work environment, joining bonus for freshers, nice fresher pay, brand value, as far as my job is concerned, it is a great place to work for.

Cons

More of jargons, confusion, location issues for freshers, more of certifications, as far as my job is concerned, it is much to get ambiguity.
