Pros

- The amount of training available is unbelievable, with a lot of internal platforms with complete courses, plus external sources like Udemy for every IBMer. - The culture is great, people are normally respectful and positive, there is a lot of focus on inclusion and diversity - work remotely - Management is often well prepared, as they participate in extensive testing and preparation

Cons

- Salary could be way better - Depending on your area of expertise, it is difficult to find good projects that are in line with the agreed career goals. - Project Instability on the consulting business. Not really IBM's fault (often Customers change direction, pause or cancel the project), but it is still a con when someone needs to change projects every couple of months. It does not seem to be a general thing, though.

Pros

- successfully working with great smart people locally and globally - the complex role and responsibility enables room for personal growth - can decide the workstation which fits best to my tasks and role - work environment (workstation and tools such as Webex, Outlook, IT Support etc.) improved over the last months/years, which hopefully makes IBM more attractive for NEW IBMers also

Cons

- the levels of bureaucracy are still too high and - the local responsibility is still too low from my point of view
