Pros: I would give 4.5 stars, but can only give whole stars. I don't think IBM is perfect, but I'm not either. There is great opportunity within IBM. Many training environments and opportunities to keep us fulfilled with expanding our roles here with diversity, new processes, and quantum computing. The list is almost limitless.

Cons: Too much is shared on Slack; it seems like an open book, but we do get many responders to find answers to many open questions. There is better hiring now, but we ran too lean and mean for too many years. With experienced IBM'ers leaving for brand-new ones out of graduate school, there is not any good crossover to dump some of that experience to transition to the new people. I wish there was a better way, but with two weeks' notice, we can't get anybody hired before the person leaves. We are not going to close that gap anytime soon.

Pros: Huge. Many opportunities. Very high tech.

Cons: Huge company, not as agile.

Pros: Diversity of working areas and teams. Pension schema. Mobility.

Cons: Big company with sometimes heavy bureaucracy / protocols not allowing fast adapting.
