Pros

Get to play with some really cool technology. Work-life balance is better than anywhere I've ever worked. Management is pretty hands-off, which gives you a lot of headroom to do crazy, innovative stuff. IBM as the first name on your resume opens a lot of doors. Some travel opportunities.

Cons
  • Compensation is not competitive.
  • Offices are kind of old.
  • It's hard to move teams or locations.
Advice to Management

I love IBM. I'd still be working there if I hadn't found a more competitive salary in a more interesting place to live and work in. Raise the hiring bar and pay people more. Expand into more competitive markets in SFO and NYC.
