Pros

international environment, flexibility, broad range of jobs, flexible time management, strong client orientation, very flexible business model, permanent change

Cons

globally integrated company with strong tendency to near-shore and off-shore currently the focus is more on the shareholder (-> quarrterly results) than on the employee

Great Company for the BIG view

Pros

I had the chance to look into so many different Industries and Technologies, I had contact with people all over the world and was able to learn so much on professional work within a global company. The broad field on which IBM offers its portfolio and the level of professionality is a big pro.

Cons

The company is BIG. So a lot of processes are around - some of use and many which are hard to handle within your daily business. Especially when it comes to the granular reporting of working hours you know that you are tracked closely.

Pros

The size of the corporation and the various business areas allow for orientation within the corporation. Other pros include a proper entry salary plus various non-monetary amenities and the no lay-off policy in my regional division.

Cons

I experienced a slow and hierarchy-based career path, which often times led to frustration. I would not recommend IBM Global Business Services for young, energetic and entrepreneurial minded people.
