Pros

IBM is very large, and it allows you the opportunity to move within the company and work on many different technologies.

There are lots of smart and dedicated people.

Work/life balance is fantastic, despite crunch time hours at times (part of the software business).

Cons

Managers are cookie-cutter and not qualified for certain positions. Management refuses to update its skills to keep up with modern practices (agile development, design-driven software). Salary and bonus are not at all competitive, and raises are non-existent.

Advice to Management

Get up to date on modern development practices. Listen more, interject less.
