Pros

- Competitive compensation & benefits - Many opportunities to learn new skills and grow your career - Work with very smart, talented and diverse colleagues

Cons

- Job security in US as employees are being replaced with resources in lower cost countries - Employees (including senior execs) competing for increased scope and recognition is a problem and often times impacts IBM's ability to get work done as effectively and efficiently as possible, while also negatively impacting employee engagement

Pros

Work life balance is generally respected Community is strong Health insurance good

Cons

As a manager, your autonomy in decision making is completely dependent on your reporting chain Pay is not great. Bonuses are really weak. Blindside layoffs are a way of life here Managers must jump through hoops to justify promotions Bureaucracy is generally rough New RBA (Retirement Benefit Account) is a killer - very low rates, no investment options at all
