Pros

Flexibility and being trusted to do the job correctly. Not a great deal of micro management, although things do get quite focused towards the end of quarter. Good training opportunities.

Cons

Quotas are set based on increasing revenue from the same period last year. This sometimes creates an imbalance if large one-off sales occurred as next year's target is based on the previous years achievment.

Pros

Flexible work schedule, pay & benefits, talented people

Cons

1) Always reorganizing, making it a difficult work environment. Don't see the benefits to all the reorgans; 2) Cumbersome process tools that are not integrated and not user friendly, adding time to getting things done. 3) Company's strategy is to move 30% of work force overseas, plus they are filling local positions with contractors.

Pros

Great work life balance, the IBM culture respects personal and family priorities. Hard work and good job will be recognized.

Cons

Internal transfer is not as easy as it should be. Your visibility depends on your manager's relative power among his/her peers. IBM evaluate employee's performance relative to all employees in a larger organization. Your relative contribution depends on how well your manager promotes you.
