It's good being with a financially solid company but not perfect
Pros: I like the fact that IBM is financially solid. The brand name carries a lot of weight. However, all and all its a good place to work and makes me proud to be part of it. I enjoy the ability to interact with brilliant minds. I like the global nature of the business I do. I like the promotion of mentoring and working with academic institutions. They also support education and professional growth. They even paid for my MBA for crying out loud.
Cons: However, like any large organization there is a bureaucratic propensity that is tough at times. I've not received a pay raise in several years. The bonuses this past year were a joke. We have frozen compensation in a time where it made sense but with profits continuing to rise this is tough to rationalize now.
