LGBT+ @ IBM
Pros: I am proud to have been working for IBM at a time when we have seen great progress for the LGBT+ community, not just internally in IBM but also in society in general. The introduction of the 8-bar rainbow logo made a big statement that diversity is embraced at IBM. That in combination with local LGBT+ initiatives have meant that I feel I can bring my full self to my job and can be an 'Out Role Model'.
Cons: IBM like any large organisation has its limitations in terms of budget and responsiveness but these can be overcome with the right Executive level sponsorship.
