Pros

There have some great people, and interesting technology. The established products have a lot going for them.

Cons

They don't seem able to transform themselves from a company that makes money selling to established customers, to a company that can break into new markets. If a product doesn't make a profit right away, look for cuts.

Pros

Working for IBM has benefits in that it is a very innovative company. IBM is currently one of the lead players many of the technologies that will drive the future, specially in the fields of Analytics, Cognitive, Cloud.

Cons

Compensation is not competitive, remote work is no longer an option after the recent restructuring of teams globally. Upper management makes decisions that affect the life of employees, keeping employees in the dark in the process. Layoffs, team outsourcing.
