IBM is still one of the best companies to work for

Pros

IBM is not the same company that it was when I first hired on over 20 years ago, but it is still a good company to work for. I am very well paid for my services to the company, and my manager treats with me respect. I get time off for personal reasons as long as I have all of my responsibilities covered.

Cons

I still see more unproductive employees than I would like to see. If I were running this company, I would make sure that unproductive and unneeded employees are fired more quickly.

I really like working at IBM. IBM is a company with innovative ideas, and I forsee a bright future with the minds they have.

Cons

Like any other job, there are deadlines that must be meet in a timely manner. Other than that, it's a great environment.
