Pros

IBM is a gigantic company full of bureaucracy, and experiences differ wildly depending on your team. If you like the look and sound of a team, you can have a great time.

Cons

There's a revolving door of upper management, and bureaucracy runs rampant. Everything is a process, and nothing ever comes easily.

If you have a good manager who can fight the system on your behalf and for your team, you're in luck. Otherwise, you're in for it.

Career progression relies pretty exclusively on forcing IBM to match competing offers.

Advice to Management

End the revolving door of incompetent middle managers. It hurts everyone.
