      Pros

      It's software technology and patent portfolio are impressive. At IBM you can work on software projects ranging from mainframes to PCs and the disciplines vary from firmware, operating system and compiler development. Development labs are scattered but multi site software development has been something that IBM has always embraced and known how to do. Being close to IBM Almaden was good as we could cross polinate with research and bring some of the research ideas into products, sometimes very successfully but other times not so. IBM seems to have its fingers in every pie and this was one of the reasons why it appealed to me to work there.

      Cons

      Outsourcing threats. Building up teams outside of the United States in China and India.

      Good but can be much better.

      Pros

      The rang of opportunities is very high. A lot of very talented people work here. While not always easy to find, there are projects that are on the bleeding edge of technology.

      Cons

      High barrier to ship projects; a lot of non-functional requirements to keep in mind (globalization, accessibility, etc.) that detract from interesting work. Hard to be promoted if in a top-heavy organization with a lot of senior engineers.

      Nice work-life balance - if you don't care about compensation.

      Pros

      IBM Canada promotes flexible work hours - including the opportunity to work from home (when it makes sense.) This flexibility (especially in adverse weather conditions) is extremely valuable - especially when you have a family.

      Cons

      Market adjusted salaries are just a fancy-speak for "you're not getting a raise this year." The "rating" system is flawed, subjective, and leads to a bitter 85% of the workforce.
