Pros

I have nothing good to say at this point

Cons

20% underpaid versus the market, pay freezes, bonuses are almost unheard of, all decisions are made based on the 2015 roadmap which means they are focused on reducing costs at all costs with no thought to the long-term ramifications

Pros

IBM still has good benefits most of which are better than other companies. I have great flexibility in whether I want to work in the office or work from home.

Cons

If you don't like your current role, it will take quite a while for you to be able to change jobs internally, even though they claim you have a right to do it within 6 months.
