Pros

The work-life balance is second to none. I personally think that we are paid very well, though many others do complain about the pay.

Cons

It is a very big place, it can be easy to get lost career-wise at times.

Pros

Benefits far out-weigh any cons. IBM UK treat their employees fairly and many employees stay for the length of their career - a lifetime. The number of employees above 25 years service is far more than would be expected at any other corp. Lots of opportunities for career progression and / or jumping sideways to another field or opportunity.

Cons

Politics, size of company, differentiation between brands and geographies. Poor internal support. Anything takes a lonnnngggg time to get done unless you're one of the few lucky ones with the internal knowledge and / or know-how or the "I'll do it myself attitude"
