IBM

Obviously, IBM provides the stability that comes with such a large organization, but also the subtleties, such as working with cutting-edge research and development. Also, IBM strives to improve work/life balance, but it can often depend on the individual or management situation.

Like any behemoth, IBM has its bureaucracy.

It does seem to be a cesspool, a breeding ground for middle management.

There are times where you are treated like a child, and not the highly educated professional that you are.

With so many managers and executives going in different directions, it's a constant struggle to simply decide what to work on. There is something to be said for making a plan and sticking with it.
