Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: current

Good place to get experience across a wide variety of areas, however becoming increasingly inwardly focused.
Pros: The opportunities to learn are endless. 
Many wonderful people. 
IBM has terrific brand recognition. 
Great benefits. 
Work from anywhere helps work / life balance.
Cons: Sales teams chasing an arbitrary quota where you may only have control over certain aspects of compensation (i.e. ability to influence revenue but not profit). 
Increasingly more internal meetings & inspection...very inwardly focused. 
Extremely conservative from a contracting and legal standpoint.
Complexity in navigating the internal process. 
Competing against your own company in some cases.
