Pros

I've worked at IBM in a few different sectors and also have experience with the company through friends and family.

Today I am a developer and my life here is great; the workload is flexible. In the past, overtime was absurd and little valued, but today it is much more controlled and almost non-existent (at least in the project I'm working on).

The remuneration is in line with the market, and they have development and career plans.

Honestly, I have nothing to complain about, only to be thankful.

If you are in the development field, it is a great company to develop yourself.

PS: The quality of life here is very dependent on the current project and which division of IBM you are part of.

Cons

As not everything is roses, there are certainly some cons.

The system for professional development is long and the requirements are gigantic.

They require you to get certifications that you don't even use in your daily work and that take months and hours of study, which, for an employee at a certain point in their life, doesn't make sense. However, it is necessary for promotion (which doesn't make any sense depending on your specialty).

I understand that it's a requirement and the order comes from above and that managers can't do anything about it.

No consideration against is enough for someone not to want to work here. Honestly, it's a great company.
