IBM - A great career
Pros: IBM has a fantastic ethos of supporting its employees in order to encourage personal and professional growth although promotion system convoluted. It also has a giveback culture through it's social programmes. There is a clear legacy of supporting equality and encouraging diversity. The company fosters a strong sense of pride in its employees in part of the company.
Cons: It is a large organisation with a bureaucracy to match. Some processes are slow and others unfathomable. Depending on qualifications and experience there are companies who will pay more; the trade-off is that there is a clear recognition of professional quality attached to being an IBMer. Promotion opportunities exist but you need to be in it for the long haul.
