It's a different time to be and IBMer
Pros: It's a diverse company with tons of opportunities and provides very neat experiences.
Cons: The business unit I was in is not a large money maker and has a largely negative air amongst most of the employees. The team I was on was running short on people and although I was a NCG I was expected to perform like a senior developer with 10 years experience, although I clearly had no experience in what they were doing or the tools they were using. I even made it clear to the interviewers I had zero experience with C. It's fine they said. We'll teach you, they said. I got no help from my direct teammates when I asked for guidance and actually got reprimanded for asking questions. Very sink or swim environment and a negative experience all around. It's not like this everywhere in IBM, just be sure to ask more about the environment upfront.
