Pros

IBM is a solid company with years of tradition and value. I'm worked with very smart people who know there industry and stuff.

Cons

IBM is a good company, but after 12 years of being apart of GBS, my career has become level/grounded. I've been trying to grow opportunities, but Management does not move it's top talent people as fast as I would like

Pros

I like the fact that IBM is financially solid. The brand name carries a lot of weight. However, all and all its a good place to work and makes me proud to be part of it. I enjoy the ability to interact with brilliant minds. I like the global nature of the business I do. I like the promotion of mentoring and working with academic institutions. They also support education and professional growth. They even paid for my MBA for crying out loud.

Cons

However, like any large organization there is a bureaucratic propensity that is tough at times. I've not received a pay raise in several years. The bonuses this past year were a joke. We have frozen compensation in a time where it made sense but with profits continuing to rise this is tough to rationalize now.

Pros

Access to top resources in many fields, both people and materials. Ability to work with people from all over the world. Ability to work in diverse areas and to experience many different types of projects/products.

Cons

Being one of the "collective". It is easy to disappear and not be recognised. Lots of competition for everything - constant fight to get things done.
