Business Outlook
Pros
Great for software engineers and those with technical expertise. IBM offer a wide variety of platforms on which to work. Might be a great start for those looking to move on to other software companies.
Cons
You always here about some great new technology IBM is working on in the mainstream media. However, the chance to get involved in such technologies is very difficult. The organisation is overly bureaucratic with obvious conflict between different parts of the business, stifling the ability to produce some great work. Externally, IBM appear a very modern organisation in which to work. However, once inside, it's clear that IBM is very outdated in it's processes and over-zealous bureaucracy.
