Pros

Very good treatment among all employees Flexible work options Respect and polite management

Cons

Huge organization that work with no coordination and brand units has poor communication. Role promotions, salaries raises processes takes too long No lay-offs that sometimes leads to dozens of 0% motivated people, staying years and years in the same role, no motivation at all and...they bother other people what DO want to work. IBM will not fire them...maybe it´s better to wait until they retire!

Pros

- Very cordial and upbeat team members - Extremely flexible work hours, since I worked remotely and had only one mandatory meeting a week. - Results-based expectations, providing even more flexibility.

Cons

- Lack of visibility of the management level above those I directly reported to. - Generally feeling out of the loop on many issues, though staff meetings helped considerably.

Pros

IBM is a great place to work and you will have good career opportunities and more possibilities to grow up the ladder.

Cons

From a compensation perspective, IBM is not a good pay master. I know people making 15 - 20% more that what I make at IBM for the similar job
