Pros

Good technical experience in enterprise software development. It is intelligent, hard working people at the lowest level that makes this company what it is!

Cons

Too much emphasis on return to shareholders, at the expense of decent employee salaries. All upper management care about are aquisitions, aquisitions and more aquisitions, which doesn't instill a lot of confidence in employees who are often working on competing projects.

Pros

Great respect for family balance. Great opportunities for woman, minorities and the company does not kill you. You really can take a vacation, or take time off. Many managers are smart and trained to empower you and let you do your job whereas some large companies are not like that ........I am sure there are bad managers, all companies have them, but IBM has alot of tremendous leaders and I believe they have identified those with the right potential. It's a competitive environment but good work is well rewarded and respected ........what more can you ask for? Great place to be.

Cons

Large companies are often hard to navigate.
