Escaped at the Right Time

Pros

IBM is large and has a lot of opportunities to move around and find interesting work. They have a plethora of programs for skill building, travel and career growth.

Cons

Employees are often treated very much as commodities. It can often feel like they are happy to swap you for cheaper labor at any point. Also, they do not seem to hire significantly in the US outside of acquisitions, so it can feel stagnant.

Constant Layoffs

Pros

You get to work with cool technology

Cons

Toxic management environment. Someone always looking over your shoulder. Nonsensical performance review process. Annual bonus program was nothing more than smoke and mirrors. Age discrimination is out of control. Poor leadership and constant changes to corporate strategy.

Definitely a machine

Pros

Lots of learning opportunities to move within the company (so long as you are within employed status - if RA'd, no movement). Very mature in its processes and approach. Definitely a great foundational learning.

Cons

Lots of political posturing. Once you hit a salary and/or age level, opportunities dry up and you become a target.
