      Pros

      Overall, IBM was a great company to work for. The expect a lot from their employees, yet they still follow the motto from years past of "Respect for the Individual".

      Cons

      IBM has become a 'sweat shop'. They are so focused on the return to the stock holder (which I understand is a primary responsibility of the CEO), however their strategy to move more jobs to other countries is begginning to take a toll on the US employees. I was impacted by the 3/2010 resource action, but was fortunate to have 34 years, so technically I retired. When looking at internal job postings after being notified, I estimate that only 10% of the PM jobs were in the US and of those 90% was 100% travel.

      Pros

      Provide opportunities to acquire skills in different areas through education, on the job training. Great work environment - team work, flexible (promote work from home). Have many organization with different mission and products provide the opportunity to work with different product sets, and different team culture.

      Cons

      Since IBM has many divisions with different mission and product sets, the employee will not have an overall understanding of the different organization products and strategy.
