Nice corporate name, shame about the bureaucracy
Pros: Great pension
Extra holidays can be gathered / bought (or, indeed, sold)
Some of the 'You' benefits such as cars compared nicely to civil service
The IBM name still has an eyebrow raising cachet
Cons: Salary wasn't great
Had to train clueless 'colleagues' who were brought in on a greater salary than I
You need to play corporate email games to justify your yearly review score
Too many layers of bureaucracy to getting anything actually done
Some days wasted just stuck in meetings instead of getting actual work done
Corporate indoctrination
Lotus Notes is still the corporate email client
