Lots of opportunities but don't expect a pay increase
Pros: It's a large company. If you put in and work hard, there are opportunities for advancement but it's not always easy or consistently based on merit
Cons: Pay is not good. Don't expect annual increases or bonuses. Expect that if you work hard you will likely get rewarded by being given more work, promotions without actual pay or band increases, excuses and promises about what might happen in the future if you suck it up and work even harder. Also HR is solely there for the legal protection of IBM. They will exploit every grey area to get away with treating employees poorly. beware of going on maternity leave. Like me, you could be starting your career over again when you get back. No protection and no employee rights.
