Pros

Great respect for family balance. Great opportunities for women, minorities, and the company does not stifle you. You really can take a vacation or take time off. Many managers are smart and trained to empower you and let you do your job, whereas some large companies are not like that. I am sure there are bad managers; all companies have them, but IBM has a lot of tremendous leaders, and I believe they have identified those with the right potential. It's a competitive environment, but good work is well rewarded and respected. What more can you ask for? A great place to be.

Cons

Large companies are often hard to navigate.

Advice to Management

None.
