Pros

Good starting company to work for. Structured and processes are mostly in place to handle projects. Less burnout in this type of environment. Smaller companies have less process, not so clear communication channels, and can be chaotic at times. IBM is less hassle for most people.

Cons

Too big, little fish in a big pond. Slower to advance than in startups or smaller companies. Lots of red tape and protocols to follow. Slow to react to problems sometimes.

Advice to Management

Look out for good employees and train them to grow faster, and do not lose them to smaller companies that will fully utilize their talents.
