still a great company (beside GSDC departments)
Pros: In IBM you can learn some rare technologies, which are not popular but if you will get an offer, it is usually well paid. A lot of interesting projects are also an advantage, nevertheless in such a big comapny approval processes ruin the lifecycle of projects.
Cons: I worked in GSDC, poorly managed, but still I think IBM is a great company with a lot of opportunities, especially when you want to work with mainframes, AIX systems, power systems - it's the only place to get some knowledge about them. Beside that, I think management decisions, which affects "normal" employees are truly unfair. They don't care about you, your development needs and do not award you if you are trying to do the best. Thus, I decided to quit and I don't regret. There are still companies which cares about their workers. It's a shame that in GSDC you don't even have a monitor to work, you have to buy one by your own...
