IBM: Great place to learn, bad place to work.
Pros: Great place to learn from others
Cons: Focus is given to those who only exist to contribute to IBM, without regards for any personal life. In other words while IBM touts "work/life balance" as being important, it actually encourages an "all work / no personal llfe" atmosphere. The moment a person realizes that they need to slow down and re-claim their personal life, IBM loses interest in that person and labels them as "making too much money...", hoping that the person will eventually get frustrated from a lack of forward financial progress, and simply quit. Alternatively, if the person doesn't quit, they get laid off.
