IBM

Some of the best reasons to work for IBM are:

• IBM cares very much about work-life balance and allows for very flexible working hours.
• IBM provides plenty of learning opportunities through projects across different organizations.
• IBM has the resources to carry out pioneering projects that most smaller companies cannot afford.
• IBM's scale makes the job relatively stable in the current marketplace.

Some major downsides of working at IBM include:

• It is such a large organization that it is very difficult and may take a long time to advance in the career path.
• Breaking barriers between organizations can be difficult and often result in low efficiency.
• There are too many old people that are too used to the established way of doing business.

Break the hierarchy; recognize and listen to the talent working on the front line. Break the barrier between organizations through meetings between the engineers, not the managers.
