Pros

IBM has allowed me to have many unique roles in my 20+ years here. I've been able to gain skills and work with some of the most amazing people in the industry. IBM is a wonderfully broad and flexible company. I have more flexibility in working from home and flex hours than all of my friends at other companies.

Cons

Sometimes IBM can be it's own worst enemy. Lots of reorgs and realignments. Can be unsettling at times.

Work-life balance is out of whack

Software manager

Pros

Brand name. Difficult & challenging assignments: great "boot camp" for future opportunities

Cons

Workload increases constantly. Most of my peers and coworkers are constantly putting in 60-70 hour weeks just to keep up as well as giving up vacation time. We feel like we are being ground to bits at this pace. What used to be a work-life balance benefit (work from home) has turned into you-are-on-call-20hrs/day. I get the pressures of the current economy, but this is not sustainable.
