IBM Canada
Pros: IBM Canada offers flexible hours that allow employees to manage the demands of both work and family life.  With the very large product and brand base, there is a lot of variety in assignments, and lots of opportunity for technical growth.
Cons: IBM has long hours because the products you support are available worldwide.  Customers could have questions and problems from virtually any country and you need to be able to respond on a very short time line to inquiries.   In addition, a lot of roles are being sent to other countries, and the training and support of the other countries requires long hours and significantly extra effort because of the language barriers.
