      Big, slow and complex. A place to hide or a place to gain experience for your resume

      Pros

      A recognizable name and fair to decent benefits are a plus for IBM. There are good, intelligent people to find as mentors at a company of this size. Nevetheless, It's very easy to fall through the cracks here and coast along with little notice from management. A good first job for those fresh out of school looking for a big name to boost their resume.

      Cons

      Constant threat of layoffs. IBM is moving many of their jobs offshore with little regard to their US based workforce. Red tape, complicated internal processes and little focus on the welfare of the employee make IBM a living example of a Dilbert cartoon. Often times, the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing.

      Great place to work if you can handle bureaucracy

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Endless career options throughout the company, different locations, lots of opportunity to work from home, Work life balance is promoted and you can usually have management support to adjust schedule when necessary. Great education possibilities, IBM payed for my MBA. Some benefits are industry leading and the company attempts to keep up with the market.

      Cons

      Cheap vacation allowances - 10 years to get 4 weeks is absolutely ridiculous Your manager can make or break your job satisfaction, they have too much control over what you can and can't do human resources policy wise. Managers don't adhere to policies or don't support them and you don't get to take advantage of the great programs IBM has. Poor first line managers
