      Pros

      work from home mobility is nice. IBM has nice logo items.

      Cons

      Senior management is only interested in keeping stock price high. IBM is always offshoring jobs. 2/3 of IBM employees are outside the US now. Vacation blackout dates for a total of 2 months each year. Management has not mentioned a word to it's US employees, and over 5,000 have lost their jobs in the last two weeks. They rule by fear and intimidation. When you manage good business results, you don't get a raise, and instead are fed the line "at least you have a job" all while IBM records record revenue.

      Pros

      Decent salary and good people as fellow employees as long as they aren't in management

      Cons

      Senior Management and executives have zero clue about what they are doing to destroy a once proud American ICON of "the right way" to do business ... it has become a cesspool in the last 20 years ...once proud to be an "IBMer" now I try not to have to mention it.

      Pros

      By far, the best reason to work for IBM is the flexibility to work from home. And perhaps it will look good on your resume.

      Cons

      Non-existent bonuses. 1-2% pay raises (at most). Incompetent management. IBM is offshoring much work to India, Brazil and Argentina. Management is fully committed to reducing the US workforce to a bare minimum.
