Pros
IBM values their employees. Employees are compensated well, both in their salary and medical and health benefits. Employees are provided an opportunity for advancement all over the world. If you are requested to transfer to a new location, they make the entire process as painless as possible. They help with the sale of your current residence, provide interim living expenses, help with the purchase of your new residence and even subsidize a lower interest rate on your new mortgage. They provide all of the resources necessary in order for you to complete your work.
Cons
The only difficult period was during the troubling 1990’s. At that time, IBM was forced to abandon their “Full Employment Principle” and initiate the Ranking System, whereby, periodically; the lower 5% of the workforce was dismissed.
