Pros

Flexibility in terms of mobile working or time arrival to the office (in some cases). Opportunities for those who know how to move within the company (you can ask to move to a different position or role and in some cases you get it. This is easier than in other companies).

Cons

Salary is a joke compared to most of other companies. No bonuses, no free lunch, coffee, few free training or courses, in a few words: IBM = your salary only. No demand or differentiation for professional people (university degree = nothing)

Appreciate you sharing feedback. Compensation is an important issue. Salary decisions are based on factors like performance, role, skill type, skill level, etc. We regularly review benchmarks and we’re really proud of the broader packages we offer employees including rich benefits. For example, in the U.S. we just announced the availability of our Watson Oncology offerings for IBMers and their families, which will be mostly without charge for those using IBM (PPO) benefits. As we heard from one employee, benefits like this can be much more meaningful than free food. Thanks for commenting.

Home working was nice thing to have and the fact that the hours were really flexible.

Cons

Salary and the lack of processes were two of the worst things for my time at this company.
