Many good qualities, sometimes failing at the individual level
Pros: The policies and the culture of IBM have a strong focus on good ethics, sustainability and diversity.
Employees are actively encouraged to continue learning and developing themselves.
You get to work on a wide range of leading (or 'good') technologies and with smart, dedicated people.
Cons: When a reorganisation takes place (as happens frequently), people often get left behind (in limbo for months, or losing their jobs).
In many business functions, unless you live in the US, you can forget about having a worldwide role, so your career prospects are limited. Moving between business functions or between business units has become increasingly difficult, unless you're a designated high flyer.
