Pros

Company values really drive you to be the best.

Good pay, usually better than market even among MNCs.

Good career programs that let employees grow their careers.

All information you need to do your job (and excel at it) can be found online.

Opportunities to learn anything and everything outside of your project.

Opportunities to contribute to fields outside of your project.

Good awareness of environmental problems and proactive in helping out.

Industry leader.

Office in Cebu.

Cons

Benefits are so-so.

Managers listen to employees but are oftentimes too busy to meet with them.

If you are the type that finds 1-on-1 mentoring with your managers important, then you might have a difficult time with this company.

Offices are in Quezon City only (within NCR).

Advice to Management

Hopefully, the managers will be trained on being skilled at handling their people more effectively.

I believe this problem is only at the local level, meaning IBM outside of PH is pretty good.
