Pros

Large company resources. Really smart people to work with. Lots of opportunities to work on truly innovative technology. Decent benefits and a good amount of vacation days. As a developer, lots of room for growth without having to move into management roles. Ability to move around the company if you aren't happy in your current role or organization.

Cons

Sometimes it's hard to feel the bigger picture and how you fit in with such a large company.

Lacks some of the benefits you'd expect from other big tech companies.

Not much in the way of bonuses.

So many changes to the organization as IBM rapidly changes its priorities, but my day-to-day never seems to change.

Advice to Management

Stop changing the org so often. Keep investing in the growth of your employees.
