Pros

Stellar reputation and merit pay, raises and bonuses. They truly tie your experience, effort and quality output to your deserved compensation. Simply put-- if you don't produce at a high level, then go elsewhere. There are plenty of ambitious, quality driven professionals that are willing to step in to pick up of baseless complainers that troll this sight.

Cons

I'm overcompensated and underworked. Three weeks of vacation and eighty hours of personal development are more than enough.

Pros

IBM is a good place to work. There is good deal of respect for employees except when it comes to the resource actions. In many parts of the company you get the opportunity to change jobs every 2-3 years and that helped maintain my interest and keep me challenged. Also, if you get a manager that you don't like very well you can be pretty sure that you or they will move before too long.

Cons

The lack of promotions. You need to want to work a lot of hours - this isn't a 9-5 place.
