Pros

There haven't been any good reasons to work on the ibm finance team for over 10 years now. The ibm finance leadership team has become increasingly small minded, lacking in any BACKBONE, and is purely self centered. The only reason to work at ibm is for a paycheck until you can find another better job elsewhere which many former employees have already done and continue to do so.

Cons

ibm is a great place to work if you enjoy working 60+ hours a week, being harranged by do nothing 1st & 2nd line managers, and if you like working for people who you do not respect.

Pros

1) Work life balance 2) Good pay 3) No body sits on your head to get the work done 4) Get to work with really good and talented people 5) IBM ISL provides lot of opportunity to convert your ideas into product. Focuses on innovation. 6) Lot of help if you have innovative ideas and want to patent them. 7) Unlimited WFH

Cons

Some times Unlimited WFH is taken for granted by the employees young people get bored because most of the work force is of 35+ age group. Yearly hike is only good for top performers and the people who have created dependency on the project.

Pros

Loved working from home. Managers were excellent in terms of dealing with direct reports. Good work-life balance.

Cons

No corporate loyalty towards employees any more. Only focus of HQ is to improve EPS, any way at any cost. In the long-run, this will kill an American icon.
