Great employer, dying company.

Pros

Fantastic benefits. Great perks. Team oriented work. Opportunities for those without higher education. Allows one to work from home. Friendly to veterans.

Cons

Everyone knows that IBM is a dying company. They excel at research, IT consulting, and business computing, but they have failed to stand out in the big data and social ages.

With a rapidly changing portfolio around cognitive solutions, Internet of Things, and industries like Education...more than 200 new executives joined IBM in 2015...a few of them former CEOs. In addition, we brought in tens of thousands of new hires into the company over the same period. We are really proud to welcome so much new talent and experience into IBM. Thanks for your comment.

Pros

IBM sits in front of massive revenue streams. They pay on time although their ethics (especially on sales commissions) are deplorable.

Cons

Intellectual capital is the only true asset a technology company owns. They are running talent out the door as quickly as possible. There is value in the gigantic revenue they control and huge inertia for their customers to drop them, and if (God help you) you work here, you will see first hand how the leadership team is shoveling that cash into their pockets as quickly as they can.

Pros

Ability to sometimes work from home offers employee a great opportunity to look for another job while not being snooped on by your boss. You WILL be fired eventually, so it's nice to start looking for a new job from day one. The vast empty hallways on site are great to use for adult sized 'Heelie' shoes.

Cons

It's hard to concentrate and read your computer screen through the tears.
