Pros

The Benefits are the most impressive in terms of non-monetary support with 401(k), Medical and Work-Life Balance. Work Life Balance is the best reason at the moment for my high satisfaction. I work from Home and at this point in my life and current job is a great match for high productivity and satisfaction. As a matter of recognition and feedback, IBM allows more communication back to the employee and empowers the employee to provide input to how his job will benefit the company and support results to match that commitments.

Cons

Large company and sometime its difficult to move between divisions. However opportunities are available and its up to the employees to support this growth.

Pros

Dedicated employees. Competitive pay and benefits. Large company with opportunity for skills and career advancement. Ability to work from home, job permitting.

Cons

Tasked to meet billable hours, which most times greatly exceed 40 hours. Whether or not you agree, a GBS employee is committed to 100% travel if s/he is a part of the GBS organization. Persons on external (green dollar) accounts are oftentimes treated better than those on internal (blue dollar) accounts come promotions, variable pay and raises. Management is great at not giving employees all the facts when presenting sensitive issues, such as the salary plan (raises). Continued initiatives to offshore labor. Execs like to limit their vision to the dollar sign.

Management has been good at allowing a flexible work schedule.

Cons

Billable hours are their product. To increase profit they need to increase billable hours.
