Pros

Overall, it is a good place to start a career for new grads, as many training programs are provided.

It has a better-than-average starting salary within the Toronto area.

It provides excellent support for new employees and allows time for new people to get used to the environment.

It is also a good place for those who would like to spend time with family and are looking for a job to settle down.

Cons

The longer you stay, the less competitive you will be in the outside world when getting used to the IBM way.

It provides a socialist compensation package (which could be an upside for some people).

Advice to Management

Better recognize individuals contributing to the company.
