Pros

Access to the latest IT productivity tools. Good training/professional development resources. The opportunity to lead teams comprised of full-time, part-time, and contract employees. The compensation, medical benefits, 401K plan are 'on par' with other companies in the Global Business Services industry.

Cons

You'll need to understand that there's an 'IBM way' of doing things, this can be an adjustment for recent graduates that haven't been previously employed in a corporate environment. There was a time when first and second level management worked together to lead employees; that has changed dramatically. During the last 4 years i was employed, there was a lot of reassignments of first level and second level managers.

Pros

Respect for the individual is a core (more/less) value of the company. They care about their people quite a bit.

Cons

Cost constraints have made things very difficult. From cost cutting to personnel reductions doing more with less has taken it's toll.
