Pros

I'm with IBM for already 7 years, and the company has been just great. Market compensation and benefits, endless learning and growth opportunities, and outstanding co-workers.

I joined after working for a small consultancy, where I was overworked and on the brink of a burnout. IBM felt like a breath of fresh air.

Cons

Getting into bands 8 and above is more for people with business acumen.

Advice to Management

Find a better way to grow engineers who have purely technical interests. Not everyone is interested in sales, politics, or client relations.
