I liked IBM overall, but some administrative red tape gets in the way sometimes

Pros

Many people who work there are great.

Competitive benefits for full-time employees.

Provides incentives for patenting inventions.

Great Work/Life Balance.

Cons

Administrative red tape at times; lack of access to internal tools.

Some managers are great; some are terrible – it's a tossup.

Still somewhat stuck in the past, but they are actively changing this.

Advice to Management

Start initiatives to make in-house tools better known to employees to avoid reinventing the wheel too often.
