Employees make IBM great.
Pros: Sharp, sometimes brilliant, colleagues; opportunities to talk with colleagues in different jobs/divisions within the company and learn from them about latest trends in developing technology and what customers and business partners are doing. At IBM the employees are first-rate -- really creative and smart.
Cons: The workload is overwhelming. I have worked 70-hour weeks for years, and still can't accomplish everything I want to do to feel satisfied with my job. I am at the highest level of non-executive employee, and everyone at my level feels that we have targets on our backs -- IBM is trying to remove highly paid people in Western countries and hire less competent people in developing countries.
