RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at IBM full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
In addition to being a part of a global technology company that actually creates products and gets patents, IBM has many programs for employees to help families, working parents, and those that want to grow themselves. One that I recently participated in was the IBM Corporate Service Corps which is IBMs Corporate Service Responsibility initiative. After being accepted into the program, my team was deployed to India for one month to work with a non-profit to help farmers get their corps to market and get a fair price. This program sends IBMers all over the world to assist with global business problems. It's a perk for employees and another way in which IBM is helping the world.
Cons
All corporate jobs have bureaucracy, and IBM is no different. You learn to accept re-orgs every year (seems like) and things are always changing. Lot's of new products and services to keep track of, but it keeps you learning.

Pros
IBM provided me over the last 25 years great opportunities to excell. Their Sales School experience is legendary. Scope to move into different divisions of the company.
Cons
Senior Executives have totally lost touch with the workers. Morale is all time low and work load excessive due to the mass lay offs.
Advice to Management
Bring back the core values and pay appropriately to the workedrs that actually deliver the results. Execs earn far too much for what they do.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookI have been working at IBM full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
The company still has some of the best benefits in the industry. Opportunities still exist and it is what you make of them.
Cons
Culture has been in decline for the past decade. No improvements in the culture can bee seen on the horizon as the company continues to shift jobs to India. Damage has been done in India with layoff's in a country where they are trying to shift jobs too. They cannot hire enough skilled people and those that they do have, leave for better paid jobs.
Advice to Management
Unfortunately the company is so large as a multinational company, it is having a difficult time realizing what it could be if it where a global company. For instance, its Cloud division is segmented and one part has no idea what they other part is doing. It has no management of a complete end-to-end service in Cloud. So it suffers in implementations. No one is watching the end-to-end and upper management continues to operate as if it were 5 years ago. IBM attempts at Agile miss the mark as no one is watching how it fits into the big picture. How can it when it operates as a multinational company instead of a global one?
