Pros

Very stable, can move to various positions within the company. Good work-life balance. Great benefits. Good place for women. Management is supportive of career development.

Cons

A bit of an old, slow-moving company. There seems to be a lack of organic innovation. IBM's strategy is oftentimes just to acquire the competitor.

Advice to Management

Too internally focused. Need to be more aware of what's going on with competitors and the market. Lack of communication between developers and upper management and marketing teams.
