Pros

Diversity / inclusion policies Ability to work from home Good benefit package Good starting salary IBM cache still sells in the job market

Cons

Annual raises and bonuses are minimal to non-existent Quantity of hours worked is valued much more than quality of work produced Overtime expectation increases every year; a minimum of 20% overtime is required to receive anything more than a mediocre annual performance review Successful performance may lead to repetiitive work assignments thereby limiting the chance to develop new skills 'Resource actions' to permanently lay off US employees occur at least once every year resultilng in ever lower US employee morale Some managers take as gospel any negative comment made by a third party about an employee without ever discussing the negative comment with the employee Some managers prone to passive aggressive behavior

Pros

Flexible work schedule. Coworkers are awesome.

Cons

Where to start. compensation, morale, culture, short staffed, workload. IBM cares nothing more than when can the job get done and how cheaply can get it done.
