Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

Great company to work for, provided the business unit is right
Pros: Big Blue Brand, Company invests in employees training, work/life balance etc
Cons: Matrix structure can be frustrating sometimes. New business model pushes wages down upto 40% compared to market value in some places, to compete more profitably with offshore in the services business. But then customers want low rates, so that drives wages. This problem however is not unique to IBM. All large services businesses such as Accenture and HP have this problem.
