Pros

With the right manager, you can have a very flexible work/life balance. IBM expects a lot but gives a lot in return. Homeworking is usually an option at least part of the week. They are very understanding regarding childcare issues.

Cons

Cumbersome processes, emphasis on selling even for technical staff. Most staff are seriously underpaid; many have not had a rise for years.

Advice to Management

Sack the CEO and do a root and branch review of pay and benefits.

Continue with the simplification initiative.
