Pros

There are a few. The technology is great and the people who I have worked with are great team players. The assignments have been very challenging which I believe have helped me in achieving my career goals. My management team allows me to use my creativity in accomplishing my assignments. They continue to apprise me of IBM related issues and progress which has made me feel like part of the team. They have also given me time off for personal issues and have demonstrated their compassion to my needs. All in all this has been a great group of people to work for and with. My salary has grown through the years and I am comfortable with it's growth. My family and I feel great full for having the opportunity to work for IBM for these 30+ years.

Cons

The only downside I can think of is the changes of the medical plan. Although IBM never promised me free medical coverage it still continues to increase from year to year. The other area where they could use some improvement is in all of us who reach the qtr century club. It would be nice to honor this in a more thank full way. Other than that I am happy with the company.

Pros

Culture of innovation. The 800 pound gorilla. Progressive and multicultural work environment. Morale is good, and compensation is competitive.

Cons

IBM == "I'm By Myself". Working remotely all the time can at times be alienating.

Pros

Stellar reputation and merit pay, raises and bonuses. They truly tie your experience, effort and quality output to your deserved compensation. Simply put-- if you don't produce at a high level, then go elsewhere. There are plenty of ambitious, quality driven professionals that are willing to step in to pick up of baseless complainers that troll this sight.

Cons

I'm overcompensated and underworked. Three weeks of vacation and eighty hours of personal development are more than enough.
