Pros

IBM has world class clients, exposure to many mega sized projects AND global initiatives and has vast resources to advance your career needs.

Cons

Work More and Expect Less Salary. Management always gives a hard time to work overtime. Reviews are usually very partial. Professional Development Managers do nothing to contribute to our career growth. They are more like administrative clerks. who check hours and manage some excel sheets.

Pros

The benefits are amazing! The medical benefits are ridiculous and you get plenty of time off! There is no need of approval in my division for taking time off, you just put it in your lotus calendar and send it to your manager!

Cons

Everything is such a process. Because IBM is such a large organization and people are constantly moving positions, the most difficult part about learning my job (besides the material itself) is trying to figure out who is responsible for the next portion of the sales cycle.

Pros

There are many roles within Finance that you may be able to have, Finance people constantly switch roles within the company. People are nice for the most part.

Cons

From what I heard from full time employees salary is not the best, and everything is highly based on very strict deadlines, You may put in many hours a week and see no compensation for it. Since it is such a big company and people switch jobs constantly, you may never find an answer for some of your questions, or it may take for ever.
