Pros

work/life balance is superb. you are able to work at home pretty much at your will. this is an element of the IBM experience that clients know they are likely to get.

Cons

pay is very poor. progress is slow, but that is to be expected from a company of this size. the moment they make one exception, they would have another 200,000 exceptions on their hands!

Pros

Working at home...or anywhere Flexible work schedules "Name" on the market A huge company with different positions and opportunities

Cons

Very, very slow progression in compensation Nebulous performance evaluation criteria Too much of a "matrix" management makes the work confusing and without a clear direction

Pros

This company provids lots of information and knowledge to support your work. You could learn very much to strong your mind if you are used to use these tools.

Cons

In most of time, you will get lots of challenges from your client. How to change yourself to match them or how to persuade them is always a huge tradeoff you need to judge.
