IBM, a great place to get started but not to build a career
Pros: Great place to begin a career and learn about the software and service industry.
Benefits have dwindled, as in most companies, but still competitive.
Cons: Very focused on start up, lacking in the long haul follow through on projects.
Very focused on hiring millennials, not as responsive to experienced IBMers whose knowledge and expertise is undervalued.
Often lacking in a win-win attitude, middle management often burns out key talent without recognition or reward.
Lots of lip service given to work-life balance, but the reality is a bit lacking in that arena.
To get excellent management experience, don't start at IBM.
