Pros

Brand and company recognition and pride from those who never worked here. They do offer some nice perks, such as work life balance, but be assured, it works in the company's favor.

Cons

Bottom line driven at the expense of resources (humans). I have been strung along with ok appraisals for 7 years, but no pay increases. Great place for those with poor memory, as you hear the same excuse year after year.

Pros

There's a lot of emphasis on employee development, although not for all employees. The benefits package is good as well.

Cons

Bureaucracy! It gets in the way of business, stifles innovation and discourages good ideas.

Pros

The level of competence across all employee levels is very high, at least at ibm.com. Great workplace environment in my division Forward-thinking technology-wise, fully embracing social media Good work/life balance Good opportunities for advancement

Cons

Lots of politics Too many silos. Company is so big, there may be thousands of people doing similar work as you, but if you're not in your department, you may never hear about them. IBM is a global company; US employees are the most expensive, so many jobs are being outsourced, and management is under terrific pressure to downsize all the time Too many contractors, not enough full-timers. IBM gives a false impression of the number of employees there because probably 40-60% are contractors.
