Pros

IBM has what I would consider competative salary. There are always chanllenges, and employees are allowed to do what needs to be done. Usually upper management listens to the advice of those of us that know our jobs.

Cons

The chances of getting a different job/position or whatever for a US employee is virtually non-existant. Training has been cut back to almost nothing.

Pros

Good benefits, and lots of education possibilities. Also lots of smart people around to talk to and get help from.

Cons

Too much oversight by middle management. There were also updates and personal reviews that had to be submitted, but I always felt like I never received the amount of time in kind back from management. Salary increases are also very small, the only way to get a real increase in salary was to leave the company and then come back in a year, otherwise you are usually capped at single digits, most often less than 5%, even after super-billable years.

Pros

Love my job due to the fact I get to work with many customers in helping them improve their overall business objectives.

Cons

Sometimes poor executive management decisions get in the way.
