Pros

Flexibility*, relaxed, more or less nice people to work with.

Cons

The pay, no carrer path, you don't really work for IBM but a subsidary, people that most work don't get much benifits out of it.

Pros

The best thing about working at IBM is having the opportunity to develop your career alongside a team of top-level professionals, working on top-tier technology projects, and having a multitude of opportunities to learn and develop as a professional. It's also worth noting that the company's family-run culture, made up of engineers, means IBMers always have an attitude of helping their colleagues in any way possible, as well as sharing their experience and knowledge.

Cons

After working at several multinationals in the sector, IBM has some of the same flaws as all other companies: sometimes excessive pressure with unrealistic goals, and on rare occasions, you may encounter a manager whose culture is not IBM's and who doesn't care about people. Another point is that variable compensation (bonuses) is only relevant for senior managers, and it's treated worse than at other companies in the sector.
