Pros

IBM Research and Development is a global organisation with great people in technical and management leadership and great technical teams. The broad range of technology topics are often leading edge and attractive for engineers / software & hardware developer and designer. Leading agile and DevOps best practices are used by some teams and partly in the organisation.

Cons

Some process are slow and feel hindering your progress and achievement. The many stakeholder sometimes prevent fast decisions and clear communication of reasons. While there are many leaders trying to improve this.

Pros

With in IBM - GBS is a good place to work as you don't really interact much with IBM or Management as you work for a Client.

Cons

A lot of them on a high level - Poor Benefits esp. 401k worst I have seen - Politics in Management I'm a victim of racism , I had been rated 2+(over achiever) every year and successfully delivered projects on time but still put me on RA. And reason for RA is cost cut but my Peer who has not performed well and hasn't delivered project was not effected at all as she was White. I was asked to pass on my successful projects to her. I took the package which they offered as part of RA as I have seen enough. And the Best part they haven't settled my RA amount yet it's been over 2 months and HR keeps saying check is on the way...lol. I guess they ran out of money..lol
