An Ever-changing Company
Pros: IBM is a HUGE company. Some of my co-workers use to say that there are 18 IBMs inside IBM, considering its size. Due to that, it is amazing to see how many different points of view are present in each team. That diversity is core to adapt, evolve and innovate, also bringing with it a high number of career opportunities. Not to mention that we deal, or know people who deal, with technologies that will be of a great impact in the future of humankind – and that is extremely motivational: to be part of the future.
Cons: As IBM is a very old company, there are a few legacies that are not that good: Some people, often in management roles, with old mindsets or internal systems that run in old technology, for example. But I see these things as something already being addressed by the company in different scales: through hiring young talented professionals; investing in executive coaching and other mindset-changing activities; hiring more people to change internal process for something new and better.
