Pros

Great respect for family balance. Great opportunities for woman, minorities and the company does not kill you. You really can take a vacation, or take time off. Many managers are smart and trained to empower you and let you do your job whereas some large companies are not like that ........I am sure there are bad managers, all companies have them, but IBM has alot of tremendous leaders and I believe they have identified those with the right potential. It's a competitive environment but good work is well rewarded and respected ........what more can you ask for? Great place to be.

Cons

Large companies are often hard to navigate.

Pros

A great commitment to honesty, innovation, and customer success. The culture really is focused on doing what's best for IBM's customers. There are also a wide range of careers and development help withing the company, plus programs to get paid while doing some good in the world (projects in the developing world or local charities).

Cons

It's a big, complex company. Sometimes it is frustrating to coordinate with the many layers of people who get involved in anything significant.
