IBM is a great place to work for self directed people
Pros: IBM provides great opportunities for learning and advancement. It is also a very family oriented company and they do provide you a lot of tools and resources for work life balance but they do expect you to be responsible for your self and your own work life balance, you must be responsible for yourself.  Some people might not like that.
Cons: IBM is a global corporation that knows no time zones, working for IBM can disrupt your life outside of work. It is an always on company that requires you to be able to manage your own time and not rely on others to do so. IBM provides the platform for work life balance but you must be responsible for yourself.
