Pros

IBM has a large global presence and can weather an economic downturn better than smaller companies. Also, IBM rewards its top contributors well. Finally, IBM tries to be sensitive to "work-life balance."

Cons

As a big company, it's sometimes hard to "stay in the loop". Communication becomes more difficult as IBM has a large number of sites spread out geographically, with even small teams tending to be geographically separated.

Advice to Management

IBM historically has not done well with the marketing aspect of the business.

We need to do a better job about brand recognition.
