Pros

I joined IBM many years back and have worked in several business units and roles so far. Growth through internal moves are really taken seriously here. Also the learning offering is unmatched - you can find everything on the learning platform.

Cons

There is still some bureaucracy in processes, although a lot has been removed in the past years
