Pros

Came in as part of an acquisition. Worked on an interesting product as part of a team of smart people. Great work-life balance.

Generally, IBM is okay with working from home, and moving around within the company is easy to do if that's what you desire.

Cons

Pay was a little low.

Felt constantly bottlenecked by unnecessary processes.

IBM was extremely stingy with new hires, refusing to allow it even when the team was being crushed by a rapidly growing customer base.
