Pros

Nothing, Since joining till date didn't observe a single positive sign. Management always try to protect their seat and will throw you out of IBM irrespective of how you perform. Lot of communication gap with management and HR. PTO's are a joke, if you lick your boss shoe, you will be able to utilize your PTO to the fullest.

Cons

need to lick manager's shoes always to get promotions. Otherwise it's hard to survive. There is no HR system in place to raise concerns on working hours and office premises. Bonus is Joke and HR is invisible. Unrealistic goals to achieve. Management without technical knowledge will decide your future in IBM. All these managers can't survive outside and I see most of the managers working in IBM for 20-30 years. If these is any Zero star, I will give it.

Pros

Work from home policy was nice, considering it wasn't popular at the time.

Cons

It was one of the most mico-aggressive, misogynistic, and racist places I've worked. The team lead (who had no digital data background) wasn't open to having me on the team. I was the 3rd person loaned to him, as the two previous hires didn't want to stay and barely made the year. Their first conversation (ever) had with me was to say they were cautiously optimistic about my presence. Unfortunately, their way of introducing me to the people I'd be working with was to send my resume (which contained my home address) out to a group of 30+ strangers. This made me feel incredibly unsafe neither the contractor I worked for nor HR did anything about this despite me raising the concern. I was on loan to this team and was replacing a previous person who wanted off the team because they couldn't take the misogyny and racist undertones, so I absorbed their work ( and later learned their years of data mistakes where they had been reporting the wrong stats for two years. ). The team lead blamed me for this, even though all reports were filtered through him.
