Pros

IBM has some of the best technology in the world and is fully committed to delivering client solutions that change the way we live. Lots of absolutely, terrific, top notch people to work with. Dedication to clients, willingness to persevere in the face of obstacles, some terrific managers and leaders who will absolutely go to the mattresses for what's right and for their people. You have the ability to determine the course of your career.

Cons

Management practices are abysmal. "Operational rebalancing" when sales and revenue are down means an annual tradition of mass layoffs. Management doesn't seem to understand what that does to employees in a services business. Salaries are acceptable, bonuses in GBS are awful and continue to get worse. IBM will work you as hard as you are willing to work and then expect more. We have a split personality - we are trying to transform the company, but at the same time, we aren't willing to wait for investments to bear fruit.

Not what IBM used to be

Pros

Smart people, leading solutions, decent benefits, above market base salary (but don't pay bonuses). Company name still has positive recognition

Cons

Not a collaborative atmosphere. Expectations don't always match market realities. Constant need for everyone to go above and beyond. Bonuses are often not paid. 401k intact paid at end of year, so if you leave Dec 1, you get nothing
