Pros

The office building in markham is one of the nicest campus to work in. Cubiclel or Personal Work Area is large with nice modern furniture, and has a sliding door that can be use to gain privacy and to concentrate on work. There are also plenty of meeting facilities and interview rooms where you can have conference call without disturbing others. Large leisure area such as the English library, the Asian Zen room and Muskoka theme cottage are all very nice facility. There is also an onsite gym with 4 treadmills, 2 step machines, and 2 elliptical machines. Since it's in the suburb, it means short commute everyday to go to work, no need to go downtown and get stuck in traffic.

Cons

High work pressure and little resources to do what needs to get done. At the same time, there are people who seems to just cruise along and contribute little.

Pros

Always feel proud to be part of the team. Working with some of the brightest and sharpest in the industry. Great benefits. Management likes to hire new campus hire and promote from within. Always looking to do things more efficiently. Lots of experienced colleagues to learn from. Everyone cares about bottom line and making company better - so you are always challenged to be better.

Cons

no worklife balance. Lots of long hours no matter what division you are with. Especially worst if you are in global services.

Pros

Its balance sheet and the quality of recent software companies acquired. Its global reach and the few old pincipals still alive in the old IBMers who helped build the company on its core foundation of respect for individuals..sadly missing in the newer generation and lost in greed of quaterly accounting.

Cons

Its lost its human side and has allowed the accountants to run the business rather than well rounded business people, it keeps weighing the pig and forgets to feed it
