      Pros

      Excellent learning opportunities and very supportive culture. This company does a very good job of capturing knowledge and promoting continuous education. Time and learning materials are provided to employees and you are given the freedom to direct your learning activities as you desire to reach your personal career goals. If you like travel, learning and people then you will like this job

      Cons

      bureaucratic advancement scheme and occasionally a lack of challenging work. It can be difficult when you come off of a high paced project and don't immediately have a new project to begin. This, however provides a good opportunity to support knowledge sharing and take some courses.

      IBM: The good and the bad.

      Senior manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      IBM has nearly a century old legacy of being in the forefornt of Human Resource Policies, it was one of the few major corporations to have a manager of color, to having given benefits to same sex couples to prohibit discrimination. It is one of the few companies which cannot officially donate corporate contibutions ( via PAC) to politicians. IBM has always tried to hire the brightest of the people from various schools or other companies, this in turn has helped the company maintain a very high caliber work force. IBM does have some good benefits, one of the very few companies even today offering free medical to employees.

      Cons

      Like some of the legacy companies IBM seems to have too many managers, the hierarchy level is simply too large for it to function in todays day and age esp when it comes to customers requiring immediate feedback. The company needs to have far fewer levels possibly by trimming a lot of fat from the top.
