Working at IBM
Pros: Decent pay and benefits.  Good remote work policy.
Cons: LOTs of bureaucracy.  The company is turning into EMC...lots of hacks and disjointed groups.  IBM is struggling has been laying off 3 times a year, for the past 6 years.  Leaders are very focused on their own gain and are not focused on the customer.  For some reason, they are not replacing executive leaders like Microsoft and Google have.  Their products don't work well, and there are layers and layers and layers of management and policies and blah.  Moral is low and people fearing for their jobs.  Lastly, IBM hands out jobs to relatives/friends of former executives.  There are young people in management roles that have no business there.  This company has not yet turned around.  The consolidate divisions and say the new unit is profitable.  Silly finance tricks like that.
