      Pros

      If you have an opportunity to work from home, then go for it. If you can negotiate a salary you wish to keep forever, then by all means you should join Big Blue. IBM benefits, while ever more expensive, offer some options like medical coverage which doesn't let insurance companies deny coverage for preexisting conditions.

      Cons

      IBM is not the same company I started at 10+ years ago. Fair raises, even cost-of-living increases, do not exist. All company focus is on getting offshore resources to do as much work as possible in order to replace US resources. Benefit costs keep going up annually, actually outpacing our stagant salaries. After 10 years, I have yet to be offered a single training class.

      Pros

      Very innovative company within techonlogy sector

      Cons

      Employees are not treated well. Employees have gotten pay cuts even when IBM has record profits. Employees are not getting rises even with good preformance. I did not get a rise in 2008 even through I had over $350,000 of billable hours and helped win two mult-million dollar sales of IBM software. I received no real financially reward for this only the sales team got a financial benefit. The sales team gave me $25.00 Thanks reward for this work. I found this total unjust and insulting. To conclude employees at IBM are seen as a cost to upper mangemet and not as an asset. All companyies say that employees are assets to they companies but only a few truly mean it and IBM is not a company that means it.
