Pros

WLB, Salary is very good but you have to know how to negotiate it. Excellent benefits, projects of all kinds, many opportunities.

Working at IBM is like a big school, but you define your own career; there is no rigid path to follow and not everyone likes it.

The general work environment is very pleasant, but it can depend on the specific project and management. It is as good as you want it to be and as bad as you want to manage it. If you join and don't like your project, try to move to another one until you find the ideal one.

Cons

They want to push people to advance their profession or job level based on boring documentation. The way to acquire promotions depends on how much you publicize your work and you have to boast about it yourself, when the work should speak for itself. This makes many people feel as if they don't exist if they are introverted, or as if their work and effort are not good enough for anyone. The company's impression depends on the managers, so there can be a thousand different opinions of IBM.

Advice to Management

Yo propondría que den a RR. HH. más poder y recursos para regular las situaciones que hacen que la gente se vaya, en específico auditar gerencias old school y malas prácticas, e investigar más qué pasa con los empleados.

De la misma manera, somos una empresa tecnológica y hay mucha gente que no está calificada porque han subido en base a colmillazo y les han mentido toda la vida. Al final, los devs hacen el trabajo de toda esa gente floja y marrullera (BAs malísimos).

Ponerse al corriente con los sueldos del mercado sería buena idea, no esperar a que el buen talento se esté yendo para contraofertar y que se vayan.
