Pros

IBM is huge, depending on what piece you get out of it. My piece:

  • had good work/life balance
  • a friendly and accepting team
  • relatively decent tools used (heard horror stories about legacy IBM stuff, though never experienced first hand)
Cons
  • Lack of any path forward.
  • Repetitive work.
  • Lack of innovation and great talent.
  • Insufferable loads of meetings.
