Mixed Feelings
Pros: I've been with IBM for a number of years.  I've always been proud of the longevity of IBM's commitment to diversity, specifically the LGBT community.  I've found great support from most managers, directors and leaders. However... (continue to Cons)
Cons: Our current CEO currently has a very close relationship with the current US Trump administration--an administration does not value diversity or trust.  Makes me doubt how genuine IBM's commitment to diversity is.
Separately, there is currently little job security at IBM currently and the severance/layoff package is only 1 month's pay no matter how long an employee has worked at IBM.  So when working at IBM, even if you are a  long-term full-time employee it is better to think of yourself as a contractor.
