      If you can handle frustration well and can lower your expectation of quality work just to survive...okay.

      Pros

      Flexible working and flexible job changes - homeworking, part-time,internal moves and working abroad - excellent Looks good on resume If you are lucky, fairly good salary (depends on when and where hired and how good at negotiation) but afterwards forget about increases..minuscule..

      Cons

      Not much else... atmosphere has been declining radically for the past few years Frequent reorganizations just for the sake of reorganization - then nobody knows who does what, why and where; Often nobody notices how wrong things are done because managers change so often that by the time they would learn their area, they leave.... Short-sighted top management - as if the company wanted to get rid of its own basis - no investment in human and non-human resources, no appreciation of quality at all - only quantity and surface statistical numbers count People are overworked, neither time/nor resource for anything but very tight deadlines, too many people changes, a lot of knowledge is lost; At the same time, many "clever" people can get by without doing meaningful work - a perfect place for self-sellers; if you change jobs annually, nobody notices that you don't know anything...

      Sentenced to 20+ years hard labor

      Pros

      There haven't been any good reasons to work on the ibm finance team for over 10 years now. The ibm finance leadership team has become increasingly small minded, lacking in any BACKBONE, and is purely self centered. The only reason to work at ibm is for a paycheck until you can find another better job elsewhere which many former employees have already done and continue to do so.

      Cons

      ibm is a great place to work if you enjoy working 60+ hours a week, being harranged by do nothing 1st & 2nd line managers, and if you like working for people who you do not respect.
