My time here has been full of challenges, adventures and some of the best people to work with and for.
Pros: The people at IBM are some of the best in the world. The size of the company means that you can do just about anything you could imagine. If you're looking for a different career path, it could be available by just building the right connections.
Cons: The pay structure is generally lower than peer organizations (unless you're an executive). The "pay philosophy" will keep it this way for a long time. The bureaucracy can be maddening at times and the speed of decisions can be glacial, so a healthy sense of humor and a lot of patience is a must. Global roles can amplify this issue through the lens of cultural dynamics.
