Pros

IBM has a trememdous Brand, Global presence, and can provide great opportunities around the world. I do think the senior executive team is quite strong (despite wat many might say)

Cons

Big company, easy to get lost in shuffle.. too many people who are riding their careers out and have lost real skills.

Pros

Tremendous work flexibilty in terms of when and where to work. Depending on job may work with some of the best minds in the industry. Salary and benefits are competitive, however the cost of living in the Poughkeepsie, NY location has gotten dramaticly more expensive over the past few years but salaries haven't nearly kept up to make it worthwhile to live/work here instead of for example a place like Austin, TX.

Cons

Stagnant salary and career growth. New hires fleeing due to uninpired leadership and work. Very low morale. High cost of living and not other opportunities in the area outside of IBM keeps salaries down.

Pros

Work life balance is the primary reason to work in this company. Management approves thw work from home option and this is a blessing for working mothers although you end up more working from home

Cons

There is a very slow growth of career. The pay is relatively less compared to other similar companies
