      Pros

      You are treated fairly and most managers acknowledge your contribution. IBM has inroads with hardware, software or consulting; you will see more large scale end-to-end projects with IBM than anyone else. International travel is a easy to come by with a year or two of experience.

      Cons

      They pay you as much as they need to keep you there. You pick up slack for older less computer savvy workers. Utilization is king, if you are a business resource on the bench, don't be surprised if they ask you to learn SQl, SAP or take a testing role.

      Difficult to remain at IBM regarless of benefits

      Pros

      I have worked for the company for over 10 years have enjoyed working with many professional and highly educated folks. Collaboration between and among teams is excellent. Flexibility to work from home is a plus. A court ruling changed the way IBM must pay overtime. Now many employees that were full-time are paid hourly and IBM must pay for the actual time worked. This has greatly increased my salary, which has also been a plus. Benefits are decent and vacation time is a plus.

      Cons

      There is a feeling of constant stress that you will be laid off at any moment. There is little opportunity for advancement. Employee assessments do not seem to be fairly evaluated. Employees are rated not for their results to their goals but against their peer's results. Only 10% of employees are able to get the highest rating regardless of their results with the remainder of employees rated mediocre or worse. There was little performance bonus last year and no pay raise at all.
