Big Blue makes big promises but fails to deliver
Pros: Big name to have on a CV which gives credibility. Reasonable money purchase pension scheme
Cons: Lack of co-ordination across the business and little communication. Promotion opportunites are limited by the way the system works and it is all around being lucky on projects you get assigned to. The approach to recruitment is to pay a high base salary to get people and then don't give pay rises and find inovative ways in how to pay minimal bonus.

US enforced rules and processes are supreme so leave your brain at home and do as you are told. Where there is no process or rules chaos is the order of the day.
