Pros

Excellent benefits offered to all employees by the company. The atmosphere is also more collegial than at other firms in the industry.

Cons

IBM is one of the largest IT firms out there, so it does not move quickly. Being entrepreneurial is difficult.

Pros

Good pay, good benefits, good people, great education, and good atmosphere to work on most occasions. Kept up to date on current technologies.

Cons

Too much travel, not enough home time, and inconsistent management. Very short sited on quarter to quarter results and not long term results. Push, push, push to get your 90% billable rate in!

Professional work environment; very flexible with work schedule, treated with respect and given freedom to work as long as goals are met

Cons

Too big and disconnected, change was slow which leads to layoffs to counter act slow change and get to bottom line results faster
