Pros

Good salaries, flexible work life. Excellent benefits package.

Cons

IBM fires people who become disabled. They can terminate with no warning, and they can circumvent the peer review process if they wish. HR stands behind all managers' decisions, right or wrong. They make no accommodations for disabled individuals, and they scoff at the ADA.

Pros

You are provided with everything you need to do your job well. There are a lot of smart people at IBM to learn from.

Cons

No work/life balance whatsoever in my position. Burnout happens very fast. The level of competition within IBM is very unhealthy. You need to put in 300% and have no life outside of work to get ahead.
