Pros

IBM paid for relocation with some specific requirements to be eligible for it. Paid for rental agency (Apartment/House purchase). On-boarding treatment is satisfactory if not the best.

Cons

As the company itself is huge, to learn and fit into its internal system could take months. More likely you will get assigned quite a heavy workload pretty soon before having enough time to learn things.

Pros

Working at IBM is like a warm blanket. It feels good and you are sure it is cold outside. The people are great, the environment is ok and the projects are incredible.

Cons

There is a 20 word minimum and I would like to put Bureaucracy 20 times. It is a massive company that tries to make one size fits all policies which gets in the way of recognition for some.
