Pros: IBM is a highly professional company, and is usually the first to implement the newest HR policies generally advantageous to the employee. Their management practices are generally fair, and education is a top priority. While IBM is not usually on the cutting edge in the market, their research certainly is, and the wait and see mentality allows them to enter the market from a position of strength, and at less cost. IBM advocates working from home, which is a great help to people who have to balance work/life.
Cons: As in most big companies, there are too many checkers checking checkers. Decisions need to be made faster and at lower levels.
