      Pros

      The opportunity to work for such a global company. IBM sets the pace in many technology sectors. Skills learned here are in high demand outside of IBM. As a software engineer got to work on latest and greatest web technologies and got a job really quickly after leaving IBM. I was able to rotate around to different software brands building a good portfolio of knowledge of software offerings. From development to application software.

      Cons

      the BIG in Big Blue. Sometimes feel kind of distant. Most of HR is taken care in a central place, e.g Raleigh, NC. Also most people are very good at what they do making promotions kind of hard to attain.

      Pros

      Good Benefits. Good first line managers.

      Cons

      Products are rushed out the door before being ready. As a technician I have to deal with unhappy customers every day because the products are sold before being ready.

      Great place to work!

      Pros

      IBM is a great place to start your career as the business itself is old and experienced in its field, making it a fantastic place to learn the market and the "game". The people I work with are extremely intelligent, imaginative, and creative, and are a blast to work with. Not only that, most managers are very helpful with almost whatever you need. The work is very flexible as well, meaning that nobody is breathing down your neck to get things done..as long as you meet your deadlines, you have the freedom to work when you want.

      Cons

      Salary compression has been a big issue with many older employees, but otherwise its a great place to work!
