Pros

Better than local companies but still a little traditional compare to HP or Microsoft in benefits, salary, bonus, and personal growth.

Cons

Benifits aren't better than HP or Microsoft and other international company. Should hire people with all the right skills and let the employees feel proud of themselves working for IBM.

Pros

The flexibility to work from home or at a client site. The ability to be able to work on a variety of projects. If you like to travel this is the company for you considering you can basically live anywhere you chose and travel to your work location if not located in your living city.

Cons

Some of the downside to working for IBM as a consultant is you don't have the direct day to day communication with Management. Even though you have a project manager, that person does not always keep you update on everything going on. Another downside is if you have problems with a manager or co-workers getting management involved sometimes can be a problem.

Pros

It always looks good to have IBM on your resume since it is such a respected company. There are good, intelligent people to learn from. IBM pushes innovation so most of their employees hold multiple patents.

Cons

No one seems satisfied at IBM Tucson. Many people have left or are looking for work outside the company. The main reasons are compensation and career advancement.
