Bright ideas and great minds company.
Pros: IBM has a lot of smart where you can learn from and achieves unbeatable solutions. Corporate ethical values are the best in my few. With 400k employees, there is always something to do. Due to the company size and long history, access to C-level is most often easy.
Cons: Work-life balance is under pressure, although first line management try to help. Getting bright solution from the design table to production is hard, most often people are not willing to invest and spend time on long term relation with customers. Shareholder driven organisation. Promotions and compensation plans are getting worse.
