Pros

Base Pay, Benefits, Not Working Fridays (lets be real here, nobody does it), ability to travel all over the country

Cons

People just get trapped in this job and dont even get me started on a manager reviewing you who you have never met or worked with before....that makes sense

Pros

None...Used to be a great company to work for but not any longer.

Cons

Pay raises of 1% or 2% every few years drives newer employees away. Unfortunately the respect for the individual that was IBM's creed has vanished. Used to be the Flagship company to work for however now just another large multinational that most new hires stay on for 5 years and then move on.

Pros

IBM is a good place to start your career. Once you have their name on the resume your experience counts for a lot. Frankly things are so negative around here, that its pretty hard to come up with PROs.

Cons

There is no respect or loyalty to the employees. People are underpaid and overworked. Those left behind are expected to pick up the load for those who were laid off or left on their own. Management simply ignores any requests for help. There are almost no raises. "You are getting 1.3 percent this year, you should consider yourself lucky" REALLY?
