      IBM needs to implore honesty and candor among its values

      Pros

      Flexible Work for personal life issues. First line management was often supportive, though had no power in decision making for your career goals

      Cons

      IBM provides lower pay versus comparable positions around the country in other peer companies. On top of the lower pay, there is also an instablity of of employment due to what they deem a competitive market forcing them to take resource actions. Though this extreme reaction does not seem to be on par with other organizations as frequent as IBM. There is also a large barrier between upper management and "everyone else", which provides a huge gap of uncertainty among employees as to how they "benefit" the company as a whole.

      Good place to work if you can tolerate the usual problems of working for a large corporation.

      Pros

      Lots of different things to work on. Good ability to switch jobs if you don't like what you are doing. Many jobs have the ability to telecommute if management approves. More of a results oriented management style than one focused on face time. Most first line managers are competent and seem to care about their people.

      Cons

      Long hours and the usual corporate stuff: bad senior management decisions, "cost cutting" that ends up costing the company more money, mass decisions that don't make individual sense, etc. Issued laptops are often very unreliable and it takes forever to get a new one.
