Pros

Always feel proud to be part of the team. Working with some of the brightest and sharpest in the industry. Great benefits. Management likes to hire new campus hire and promote from within. Always looking to do things more efficiently. Lots of experienced colleagues to learn from. Everyone cares about bottom line and making company better - so you are always challenged to be better.

Cons

no worklife balance. Lots of long hours no matter what division you are with. Especially worst if you are in global services.

Pros

Its balance sheet and the quality of recent software companies acquired. Its global reach and the few old pincipals still alive in the old IBMers who helped build the company on its core foundation of respect for individuals..sadly missing in the newer generation and lost in greed of quaterly accounting.

Cons

Its lost its human side and has allowed the accountants to run the business rather than well rounded business people, it keeps weighing the pig and forgets to feed it

Pros

IBM offers individuals growth in many different areas within the organization. An employee is granted the ability to really seize control of his or her career and encouraged to take steps that will help him or her reach goals.

Cons

Because of the company's large nature individual employee contributions are generally used to benifit the company more than the individual. There should be a better method of employee recognition over and above a "small" bonus.
