Pros
  • Good work/life balance most of the time
  • Looks good on resume
Cons
  • Pay is below average compared to the rest of the industry.
  • A lot of the employees are very unprofessional compared to other places I have worked. Swearing, racist jokes, etc., are common without anyone saying anything about it.
  • The tools (both software and hardware) are really outdated and not worthwhile learning as the rest of the industry no longer uses them.
  • Not innovative AT ALL. IBM, in its recruiting, presents itself as innovative and an industry leader. The company is certainly an industry leader, but not innovative. Coworkers constantly joke around about how they pick the easiest solution.
Advice to Management

Make the company more modern. Pay more, hire better, more professional employees.
