Very good to work for, but sometimes just too big
It's a large company with lots of talented people—a great place to learn in almost any field in the industry.
The company is too bureaucratic. I always had the feeling that IBM is just too large, and the management tries to play it safe, never getting into risky investments. This sometimes means bleeding-edge projects and great ideas get cancelled.
The management should try to think long-term and put investments into projects where the turnaround is not always possible in the first few years. IBM is a company that goes for small but safe revenue growth, thus not being able to get into some important market segments.
