Pros

Relaxed, laid-back environment, no micromanagement.

They drive you to learn continuously.

Their customers are not cheap, so you can do good work on projects.

Travel arrangements are above decent, even a bit over the top for my taste.

Good pay, in my location, nice workplace.

Very convenient, although a tiny bit bureaucratic work-from-home policy.

Cons

Not really cons, just annoyances.

No free coffee. It's the first company in many years where I've encountered this.

Their bureaucratic processes can take ages and a lot of your time, and are somewhat awkward at times.

Not the best health insurance compared to most other companies in the area.

Outdated/poor hardware you get to work on – that's my biggest gripe so far.

Internal trainings are more sales-oriented than technology-oriented.

Advice to Management

Working at IBM is annoying at times. There are a lot of things that cause wasted time. Outdated hardware, complex bureaucratic processes, and no coffee on premises are my main three gripes.

Fixing these would be a tiny cost, but the impact would be significant, IMO. And it would decrease the annoyance level a lot.
