Pros

Working at IBM is like a warm blanket. It feels good and you are sure it is cold outside. The people are great, the environment is ok and the projects are incredible.

Cons

There is a 20 word minimum and I would like to put Bureaucracy 20 times. It is a massive company that tries to make one size fits all policies which gets in the way of recognition for some.

Pros

The main pro is probably the work/life balance politics of the enterprise, which really helps me by allowing home office a couple times a week, since I live a little too far away from my office. The benefits which the enterprise gives are also great, and so are the learning opportunities within it.

Cons

The major cons probably are the salary, which isn't exactly the best ones on the market.. but are still in the average, and also the fact that it is a huge enterprise, which causes advances within its hierarchy to be slow.
