Disappointed and unmotivated after 2 years as IBMer
Pros: As a young professional you get very quickly responsibility and growth potential. 

Depending on the project your are working in innovative and fast paced environments.
Cons: My advise —> dodge this bullet.

Employees are stucked in the same salary level for years...a lot of formal obstacles before you get a promotion.

You need a good network to get interesting project assignments.

Employees are treated like cost or productive factors. KPI and financially driven only.

Individuals preferences (e.g willingness to travel, preferred work location, etc)  are 2nd —> “you must obey and be billable.”

IBM follows a strong cuts plan for years, this leads to absurd decisions from management.

Management praises  unique and “new” company’s culture...but these values are not followed in reality

Huge old dinosaur with old legacy processes and hierarchy.

Unstable work environment...everyone can get fired next.

In my Departement the good and motivated co workers gave notice in last months.
