Pros

IBM is huge with 10K's of products, 340K employees, and unlimited potential. When you figure out how to work with and use IBM's size, you can delight your clients, make a good living, work with people who become your friends, and on rare occasions get an amazing reward like going to Hawaii with friend for Best of IBM (only 1K go).

Cons

IBM is huge with 10K's of products, 340K employees, and unlimited ways to get lost or feel unwanted, plus some areas just don't succeed. It takes brains, heart, guts and a little bit of luck, but that is true anywhere.

Pros

IBM has transformed to agile techniques throughout. SW development loosely follows the Spotify model. Our new CTO stated that his job is to make sure that IBMers have the very best tools and had delivered that. We all get to choose MacBooks or windows, we use great collaboration tools - slack, github enterprise, mural and for education - safari flow which is awesome. There is a real focus on education and on renewal.

Cons

It is a big company and sometimes it feels BIG.

Pros

IBM is supportive of innovation and is supportive of a good work life balance. It is easy to work the hours that fit your life and have access to the resources to create new innovations in IT.

Cons

The EPS promises made by IBM management to stockholders has caused them to achieve business performance results through some excessive resource cutting that can hinder long-term development activities.
