Pros: Shifting towards CAMSS. Innovation through acquisition of companies, both small startups and large. Good benefits for young people. Competitive salary if you know your worth. Retina MacBook Pros. Lots of different tasks to do. You can gain lots of experience.

Cons: Needs to improve IBM Notes (Internal email client). Needs to improve the way internal applications work. They are very slow and full of clutter. Expense reimbursement with an AMEX Corporate card is very troublesome. Work/life balance can be hard to manage if you work at home. You are very tempted to work all day. This is normal for Software Engineers, though. A little slow at times. Sometimes you wonder if people know you're on the team or still around.

Pros: Good work-life balance. Flexible work hours.

Cons: Low annual raise. No bonuses.

Pros: A lot of brands, units, and an infinite amount of projects with great flexibility to move among them. This enables employees to change roles and move into new projects. Sometimes this even happens when the employee has no previous knowledge or experience in the new area. Stable company, very focused on earnings and always with a vision for more growth.

Cons: We all work for the company stockholders. This seems much more like a financial company than anything else (service, IT, etc.). Everything is calculated, and there is always a cost/risk pair to it. Companies nowadays call their employees "resources"; IBM calls them "cost". Too deep hierarchy. It's hard to know what is going on up there. Managers are moved from projects/areas/units/brands every 2 years, so you get a new manager who might or might not know about your project and how your team works. This is usually really bad. As always, there are some exceptions.
