      IBM ROCKS

      Senior software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Huge company with a lot of opportunities to try different career options; technical persons get a lot of respect; probably one of the few places left to do research; people respect people; managers spend a lot of time to promote employees and really care about your career development

      Cons

      very limited business growth opportunities, frequent resource actions in technology division, and as a result compensation is not great, no stock option at all, very little bonus; managers are paid the same or less than engineers; office buildings are in poor condition; almost unusable fitness center for a site with ~5000 employees; health insurance cost is high compared with other high tech employers
