Pros: When you join IBM, you become part of something special-an ever-evolving, more than 100-year old legacy of excellence that continues to be recognized throughout the world. From Nobel Prize-winning scientists to designers, from strategists to engineers. 

IBMers balance client commitments, travel, education, family and outside interests. With the help of technology and our ongoing commitment to workforce flexibility, we support flexible arrangements based on business needs.

While work/life balance is achieved differently by each employee, IBM offers a wide range of programs that address concerns like dependent child care, educational scholarships, elder-care programs and more. In addition, IBM has available a range of Workforce Flexibility Options such as flexible work-week schedules, part-time employment, leave-of-absence programs and selected opportunities to work from home or remote locations.
At IBM, your pay will be strongly influenced by the results you deliver and by our overall business performance. Cash compensation opportunities include base pay, sales incentives, awards and other forms of earnings. When our business objectives exceed plan and you perform at the highest level, you'll have an earnings opportunity that places you among the best-paid employees in the marketplace.

But to thrive and grow, you need an employer that values the less tangible-but no less critical-benefits that make work a pleasure and a fulfillment. Benefits such as flexibility to help you manage family life, greater freedom in charting your career development and more say in shaping the company's products and culture. When it comes to having competitive compensation and benefits, tangible and intangible, IBM has long been a leader and remains so today. 
At IBM, diversity and inclusion means understanding, respecting and valuing human and cultural differences that create a workplace where everyone has the opportunity to fully participate in creating business success. This is a belief and a practice that expands beyond nationality and gender.
Cons: When the company's presence across all the nook and corner of the globe and a huge professionals working worlwide, then the policies are tend to differ; however I feel the overtime work policies and onsite assignment policies should be reviewed.
