      Pros

      Many IBMers now work at home, saving time and money on commuting; senior professional staff are given wide latitude in setting work content and methods; it is possible to produce very high-quality innovative professional work; be part of major global corporation that is growing and is very well managed

      Cons

      IBM is so large it is sometimes hard to navigate; despite valuing innovation, entrenched business processes are sometimes resistant to improvement; IBM is a sales-culture so you have to get comfortable being in sales mode; a strong cost-cutting mentality leads to frequent staff reductions

      IBM, A Good Place To Work

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Access to the latest IT productivity tools. Good training/professional development resources. The opportunity to lead teams comprised of full-time, part-time, and contract employees. The compensation, medical benefits, 401K plan are 'on par' with other companies in the Global Business Services industry.

      Cons

      You'll need to understand that there's an 'IBM way' of doing things, this can be an adjustment for recent graduates that haven't been previously employed in a corporate environment. There was a time when first and second level management worked together to lead employees; that has changed dramatically. During the last 4 years i was employed, there was a lot of reassignments of first level and second level managers.

      Pros

      Respect for the individual is a core (more/less) value of the company. They care about their people quite a bit.

      Cons

      Cost constraints have made things very difficult. From cost cutting to personnel reductions doing more with less has taken it's toll.
