IBM

Besides its brand name, IBM offers great benefits: mobility, stability, job security, limitless hardware and software opportunities, amazing coworkers, beautiful offices, employee benefits, and a minimally stressful work environment.

IBM is at the very edge of San Jose, a bit of a commute for some.

Also, the company is very stable, but because it is so large, it may be a bit difficult to climb the career ladder.

I didn't personally experience this, but engineers sometimes have to deal with unreasonable demands because managers aren't familiar enough with technical details to understand that their plans may not be feasible. I would suggest becoming more familiar with the technicals and discussing plans with an engineer before setting harsh deadlines.
