Pros

Fair benefits; good management team; able to work from home during the pandemic. Supportive of family issues. A good place for folks who are getting started in the business. I've been staying over 3 years because of work/life flexibility, but am considering moving on due to low salary (<$55k after 3 years!!).

Cons

Client Innovation Center (CIC) is a sub-department of Global Business Services (GBS). It takes two full years for 401k matching, and that does not happen on a bi-weekly basis. It only occurs in a lump sum at the end of the year if you complete the full year.

Advice to Management

Do away with the CIC (Division 1P) and make everyone a Division 16 employee with the same benefits as the real IBM.
