Pros: Working for IBM SWG gives you opportunity to explore your career, manage your own time, make your job your own, you work where you need to be - flexible
Cons: there is a lot of reporting done, you have to be a good corporate citizen, you are not well supported when taking a risk on career path exploration, they try very hard to minimise your pay, they do not give you pay rises often even when you change role, work life balance can be an issue, development investment is minimal, they do not supply you with the tools to do your job (BYOD), reviews on achievement focus on the figures only. They talk a good talk on culture and values but this is lip service, senior management do not drive and support it.
