      Corporate alterations of long standing values erode trust, employee confidence and the drive to continue on.

      Pros

      IBM has always supported employee opportunities to learn and grow through academia, ie; educational continuation 100% paid for by the company when enrolled in a degree program

      Cons

      compensation rollbacks through pay and other benefits Educational and experiential resources (PEOPLE) not well utilized unless part of the favored click Too big and cumbersome with multiple layers of management to turn the ship in a timely manner Group "Think"

      Pros

      excellent hr benefits (medical, etc). my workgroup has flexible telecommuting work option which is nice.

      Cons

      i work in software group. ibm software (technology-wise) is very average. management can be lots of bureacracy. ibm in the US is too big and senior management is probably looking to shrink it.

      Pros

      Many different projects to work in, and many teams to work with. There is a good team spirit in IBM UK which tends to put the IBM UK staff first.

      Cons

      The reliance on outsourcing has led to many 'managers' not actually posessing any real skills in their industy or field. In any other profession this would be unheard of, this tends to bog down any new business or contract negotiations as you are essentially dealing with people who simply dont know the product, and who are also client facing (Like a big game of chinese whispers).
