      Stable place to work, but don't expect opprotunities to stand out.

      Pros

      Great brand name on resume. Fair Pay. Great Time Off. Good Travel Opportunities. Flexible Work Schedule for the most part. Generally 40-45 hours per week. Consistent raises and bonuses Job Security

      Cons

      Slow advancement. Very little correlation between performance and pay / promotions. No one really takes an interest in career goals (they will pay lip service, but no follow up). Needs of short term projects take precedence over desire for career growth. Bait and Switch during hiring process.

      IBM - the Big Blue cesspool

      Pros

      A variety of benefits; 3 weeks vacation to start; great name to put on your resume when you get laid off

      Cons

      Grueling hours if you let them boss you around; little to no pay raises; low wages; they will outsource you overseas in a heartbeat; little communication from upper management; billions in net income yet very little to boost pay; poor quality of work provided to clients due to understaffing of accounts.

      Great opportunities if you are up to the challenge

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Challenging roles, smart people and fast pace of change. Opportunity to do almost anything you are able. Very flexible work environment and employees are treated like adults. Just get the work done.

      Cons

      Challenging business environment and low understanding of our services in the marketplace. Distributed workforce can sometimes require focus to ensure accomplishments are communicated and understood by those who need to know. Global roles can require bi-modal days (calls in early morning or later in evening).
