Pros

The depth of experience, personal support, and learning opportunities you have available is substantial. Your ability to influence where you take your career within IBM, is very real and enabling. You have the insights of a well experienced team and through internal options you can collaborate around the globe on ideas and projects.

Cons

Large organizations often get more difficult for targeting rapid change, based on the culture. This is no different at IBM, but it has changed momentum significantly over the last several years, picking up speed in each passing month.

Very rewarding and a great team of coworkers, great international exposure, broad business exposure and challenges with multiple lines of business, and multiple country legal requirements. Management recognition of high performance contributors.

Working in a global deployment with teams in time zones that contribute to long hours in order to support the development and test teams. Weekend work, reduced personal growth as a result of cost cutting and job eliminations.
