      Pros

      The biggest barrier to success is simply what you pace in your own way. I've yet to be told "No" when trying to contact someone or ask a question.

      Cons

      The size of IBM gives it a resistance to change that can make someone feel like they are on an island.

      IBM - about average, as you might expect.

      Pros

      In my experience, IBM does a great job of career management. My managers have always been heavily invested advancing my career, giving me opportunities to shine in front of executives. And they've always had very frank and open discussions about my career goals and how to achieve them at the company. Another advantage is that just about any job you can conceive of exists within IBM and you can find it and position yourself to get it - if that's what you want. Finally, the company is so invested across all technology areas that you can always move to some new, exciting area if you want, or need, to.

      Cons

      Benefits are bare-bones and employee contributions are increasing every year. Constant "resource actions" force remaining employees to do more, with less. And in a company of 370K+ employees, it's hard to feel like your individual contribution really matters.

      Pros

      The biggest IT Company in the world. Great name in CV for your career. Great career opportunity Satisfied working enviroment & salary. A lot of things to learn & experience.

      Cons

      Junior managers doesnt know what they are doing and also I'm not satisfied with their management skills. They working for the greatest IT Company. I'm not sure they'd noticed this or not. -You are expected to be a pre-sales expert , delivery expert and also post-sales expert. Are you kidding? either your sales abilities are good or your technical abilities are good so you want to be a technical employee or sales employee you cannot be good both of them at the same time.....
