Pros

My fellow employees are great to work with. The work is challenging and satisfying I am treated like a professional (usually) Support for technical careers

Cons

Costs like health care and commuting keep rising, with no pay raises to even keep things even. IBM keeps cutting costs at the employee's expense, reducing or eliminating reimbursement for legitimate business expenses. Employee recognition has been declining year to year for quite a while.

Pros

Great for work/life balance Competitive benefit package, but starting to become less so opportunities to grow knowledge tons of open resources for education and technology growth for those who are self motivated

Cons

moderate to poor support for those who work at home demanding deadlines incompetence is seldom punished overly concerned with shareholder value and not employee value

Has positive corporate structure and standards of behavior and fairness. Tries to leverage advantage of its size. Interesting work but not too stressful.

Cons

Large corporations can be bureaucratic and IBM is no exception - it can take a long time to change things
