      Pros

      Quality People with a passion for client's and company's mutual success Global leader with a lot of opportunity for those skilled in networking and those that can navigate a highly matrixed organization. Comprehensive approach to compensation and benefits. Evolution to value based culture resonates with customers, competitors and marketplace in which the company competes.

      Cons

      Navigating multiple large organizations in highly matrixed environment can wear and grind one down. Business controls, process and operational intensive environment

      IBM is good to start, but look elsewhere for a career

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great work-life balance and a flexible work environment enable employees to decide when, how, and where they want to work.

      Cons

      Very large company makes it difficult to advance. If you are in the wrong divisions of groups within IBM, then promotions, raises or any other compensation would be unlikely.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good place for work/life balance. You have the flexibility to work from remotely or from home. Big company with many areas of opportunities to work in. The company rewards you for innovating and coming up with ideas that generate patents. The people are generally competent and easy to work with.

      Cons

      Large company with plenty of red tape. Sometimes can be very political. Working across groups and components can be challenging. There can be a lot of negotiating between groups on how to split revenue and this can hamper or completely halt a project. Different groups internally may have similar products that compete with each other.
