Pros

IBM provided intensive training, good appraisal and advancement counseling, broad opportunities for both lateral and vertical job rotation, and a large pool of knowledge resources. Furthermore, IBM enabled open inter-employee communication and enabled employees to balance work and private life.

Cons

Some managers at IBM lacked sufficient leadership skills. In a few cases, managers lacked technical skills, in a few other cases magers lacked business knowledge and/or skill. In a few instances, upper management, or Human Resources, seemed to have been fooled by ‘smooth talkers’.

Pros

World of knowledge is open for one. W3 is good tool to learn everything you are interested in. Innovation is not discouraged. Good growth opportunites within the company across the world. Good trainings to improve you as a professional and a person. Work culture is amazing. Flexible timings. Coming to office is not that necessary, completing work as per quality and deadline is ..

Cons

Whatever package you can negotiate while getting in, thats it. Do not expect hikes of 10% odd year on year even with best performance. This sometimes discourages people who have worked from starting in the company feel discouraged at times that resources under them are higher than themselves.
