Pros

Most of the people are awesome - great attitude and teamwork abounds but teams get bogged down from lack of senior management direction. Only a few VPs+ are inspirational, most are just blowing air and buzz words.

Cons

Although they say that there is plenty of opportunity to transfer it is limited to your location, especially development teams. Definitely block you when you are on the radar for a resource action and will set up layoff to the great advantage of IBM, even making it 2 days short of a month end just to save on vacation day accumulation for the laid off employees.

Pros

Flexible working place Nice colleague, supportive and friendly Great HR team, helpful, competent Easy to reach agreements with management, ready to negotiate and support

Cons

Low level of skills and business acumen in many employees. Company is changing drastically. Few years ago even a hairdresser could become an IT specialist if they spoke an extra language except English. But nowadays if you want a good job, well paid you need to be very skilled. Low-skilled jobs are declining. If you get to higher band the compensation is beyond competitive. See the upline managers, no one or very few have left the company which there is an indication that higher role are well paid.
