Let's build a Smarter IBM...
Pros: Work life balance. Ability to work remotely, if you stay away from Delivery Centers. A great community of wonderful, hard working, innovative people excluding most with Manager Flag=Y above 2nd line. Opportunity to work with leading edge technology if you work in services on commercial customer systems... internally is great if you are into retro 90's technology!!
Cons: Limited to no salary growth. Top performers (30-40% of employee base in the US) have been lucky to receive 2% or less in "merit increases" annually. All others... nothing. Career growth is extremely limited. 80% of IBM's business is managed via Spreadsheets. Very little investments internally in adopting the technology solutions we sell.
