Pros

Everything is organized. IBM has got a process for everything. Integration of acquired companies is running very smoothly and fair. Great portfolio of products.

Cons

Personnel management is automated, no chance for divergent development or career. Sometimes you feel like a "number" inside this big IT working machine. You need to find customers who are willing to pay more, just because it's IBM.

Pros

Great place to work at the core of IT, not just the 13957th user interface on top of it. Many very capable people (not all, but most). Management is very much understanding the personal needs of employees, e.g. family situation, and is really concerned about helping (which is more than "listening").

Cons

Pay is ok, but could be better. Buildings are at times not the newest. Nowadays the company tries to save money quite a bit too much. Too much driven by quarter results. Old employees have MUCH better financial benefits than the young generations.
