Pros

Very good treatment among all employees Flexible work options Respect and polite management

Cons

Huge organization that work with no coordination and brand units has poor communication. Role promotions, salaries raises processes takes too long No lay-offs that sometimes leads to dozens of 0% motivated people, staying years and years in the same role, no motivation at all and...they bother other people what DO want to work. IBM will not fire them...maybe it´s better to wait until they retire!
