Pros

Career Opportunities are great if you put in the hard work

Cons

High Performance Culture regarding salaries is, quite frankly, a lie. 10 years in the company and still grossly underpaid. Don't stay in IBM too long - you have to leave to get a decent salary. IBM is still a very arrogant company to work for.

Pros

Work/Life balance. A large portion of IBM works from home and flexibility is part of the culture as long as goals are met.

Cons

Large, rigid corporation. People don't leave often so opportunities for advancement come much slower than in smaller organizations.
