Average Company
Pros: I can only speak based upon the Business Unit that I was in. Communications within the teams were fantastic. Everyone was happy to help each other and there was a sense of a community.  Lots of flexibility working from home & can also come as downside, depends how you look at it.
Get access to IBM Rewards UK (reductions in high street shops, utilities, electronics, days out and much more - majority of them are average and some offer cash back).  Flash your ID badge in their listed hotels and can get a reduction.
Cons: IBM have a real bad culture when it comes to sacking people. They leave the sacking till April, so a huge number of people get removed. This does not matter if you are a top preformer or someone not meeting their standards. So every year your concerned whether you have a job? Something as basic as Tea, coffee and hot water is not free. Christmas party you have to pay for.  IT support team are awful!
Just because they have a famous brand name does not mean they are doing well! (In 2017 - Warren Buffett who owned 2/3 of IBM shares sold them).
