Pros

Very flexible in terms of work time, home office and so on. Its quite easy to maintain work life balance and be with your family at IBM. You even get pushed by the company to do so. Teamwork is great and everyone is very professional to get the job done.

Cons

Extremely process driven and some of the implemented processes really dont make any sense. Most of the time the processes are necessary and even a very good thing, but some of them are just not usable in the real world out there. Focusing the business on shareholder value as main issue is not very aplicable either.

Pros

good variety of customers - you will get experience! lot of customers with the highest level expectations/leading edge high skill level - challenging and supporting: your skills are valued and fostered clear career path good education and mentoring system, hand in hand with training on the job international jobs and assignments, relocation services concise processes and standards thought leadership in many areas

Cons

high workload, especially at "magic deadlines" (quarter/year end) stress coming from diversity (cultural, many timezones, global processes) not a 8-15 job if you are not the best than you are replaceable
