Pros

Great company for the employee who has no future.

Cons

Pumped us up with promises that we would be free from IBM issues. Told us everything would be continued in the current locations. I was part of the IBM sale of the x-series division to Lenovo. They basically took what they wanted, divested what they didn't, and layoffs came from that. I would have liked to had the chance to work 2 more years and retire with 30 years from IBM. Instead, I lost a lot of retirement money and was unemployed. The whole mess just stunk! They should have been up front from the start, and let us transfer to other jobs within IBM since they had no plans to keep us anyway. Instead we were forced to go to Lenovo.

Pros

Absolutely love my team, people, culture, and work events. Genuinely I can't think of any cons. 3 days in-person, 2 days remote. Best work life balance ever, and great pay. Even intern benefits are amazing

Cons

None that I can think of
