Pros

A flexible and supportive environment. There is lots of mobility within the company and plenty of opportunities for career growth within and between business units, organizations and teams. Among its peers, IBM is ahead of the curve.

Cons

Tedious, unnecessary processes and (ironically) the company does not leverage technology where it can to improve on efficiency. This results in unnecessary longer working hours.
