      Mix of very good opportunities and other roles where skills are under-utilized

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Brand image and company financial stability Strong influence on the market whether by leading or following Very smart and committed professional staff Broad range of products, services and roles - if one can network sufficiently across organizations to make transitions

      Cons

      Inconsistency between feedback and/or role as being 'highly valued' vs. broad resource/cost reductions (over the past 5 years there's a noticable drop in employee trust for management)

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Opportunity for experience- for the proficient self-starter, there is potential to get training/experience with a huge array of technologies. High probability of working from home and being somewhat autonomous.

      Cons

      Very large company. High turnover. Frequent layoffs. Occasional paycuts. Most job changes/promotions are lateral with regards to salary. Overtime expected.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good atmospher, nice and skilled colleagues. Good reputation of the company. Networking: wherever you go in the world there's a good chance that you will find an ex or current IBMer around.

      Cons

      Compensation package is far below what you can get in other companies, additional benefits are already close to zero. No work/life balance, long overtime hours. Hard to get promoted above a certain level, even if you are performing very well.
