Pros

1. Brand attracts good talent 2. Pay is above average at senior levels

Cons

1. Bad leadership that just drives by numbers, like a commodity/fmcg business 2. Too many people in leadership roles that have very little accountability and delay decisions 3. Not a good place for teamwork and belonging - HR live in a ivory tower - people are promoted on years of service/technical competence/sales numbers - very few leaders can create a good motivated team 4. Too much hype and disproportionate resource allocation to some portfolios - not focusing on core competencies 5. Delivery is a big joke - average experience of PM and above is over 10 years (of skilled incompetence) - not customer focussed at all

Pros

IBM is a large company and that gives you the chance to explore many options without changing companies.

Cons

Sometimes you can get lost in the size of the company and not feel like you matter.

Pros

There are some very talented people at IBM,.

Cons

Unfortunately it appears that due to Resource Actions, a majority of the talented people are culled out every quarter, leaving nothing but an empty shell. Also on hire they promise high bonuses but in reality you will see 1% regardless of how you are rated. It appears that Ginny getting 14.5 million Bonus despite loosing sales quarters 20+ quarters is not enough to hinder this behavior.
