IBM

The community of designers is wonderful.

Solving difficult problems through design.

Being part of the whole process of design.

Great place to learn about other design disciplines.

The organization as a whole has come a long way in a few years with regards to incorporating design and design thinking. (Still has a long way to go, but there is progress.)

Suffers from the typical faults of a large corporation.

As a visual designer, opportunities to be creative are somewhat limited.

Overall happiness is VERY dependent on the team and org.

Be upfront about the type of work available and be willing to work with designers to find teams that are a good fit for them. Some organizations have issues with soft sexism and a lack of respect for groups of designers. Sort these problems out before people start to really think about quitting when they can't find a new team.
