Pros
It's a place where you can work hard and see the results of your work and be recognized for your efforts. This year's recognition award was hosted in one of the finest hotels in Punta Cana and IBM made all of there feel extremely special. I've never had as much support by colleagues willing to help me than at IBM. You are working among the brightest, most innovative people willing to assist you. IBM is a company that has reinvented itself so many times to not only remain relevant but to maintain it's leadership position over well over 100 years.
Cons
Sometimes the large size of the organization can get in the way of itself. All the help I've noted in the pros sometimes comes at a price where we have too many hands in things.
Advice to Management
Invest more in younger education and youth programs, so that the next generation of individuals are already very familiar with IBM's innovative solutions and past successes. We seem to be the best kept secret.

There is alot of pressure at IBM. There is pressure due to layoffs and there is pressure due to too many meetings and training sessions making it difficult to get my work done.

Layoffs need to stop. Is it causing it stress and making it a very difficult work environment.

Pros
Good salary, 401K match, ability to buy stock if you want.
Cons
Hard to get on projects since IBM is lacking signings, not a lot of strategy work, can be hard to navigate such a massive organization.
Advice to Management
Help new hires get staffed on projects sooner. Also give them more flexibility/weight their role and sector prefrences more.

Pros
IBM is going through a transformation to adapt to fast changing technology industry. This has created an environment where new jobs and positions are continuously appearing and is a great place to start, build, and grow your career.
Cons
As you would expect for large company, it is very political, which is hindering the company's attempts to transform.
Advice to Management
Too many underperforming products and services. Streamline and focus the company.

Pros
Work/life balance is amazing. You can work from home almost 100%. In sales, you're judged only for your results. Office politics is as low as a large company can get because it's just about what you product. There's something astonishingly refreshing about it.
Cons
The company is on a downward spiral and the fact that they are (i) not producing good products/services, (ii) not recruiting top young talent is an issue. It's a company of (to be brutally honest) old white men. Also, there is very little mentorship to new hires because it's so remote work culture.
Advice to Management
Focus on a few products/services rather than trying to create something for every possible IT need. Mentor new hires. Your 20/30 year veterans don't want to take time to mentor the 22 year olds and it's going to cause mass exoduses. Also, please for the love of god, hire more external senior hires. It's a very myopic culture because we don't know what's being done well and poorly.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at IBM full-time (More than a year)
Pros
CbD used to be a slightly better program, but there have been significant management issues that have made it go down the gutter.
- Great work life balance
- Decent breadth of experience
- Good resources/training
- Much better diversity at the younger level than other huge companies or banks, etc.Cons
- They pay market rate, but then you cannot get a raise for 2 years (no exceptions).
- No year end bonuses (I don't count $200 as a bonus)
- Not a rotational program
- No say over your staffing/career goals
- Somewhat diverse but not enough... tons of younger women but not many female executives because no women want to be high up there...
- Ivy league school grads get paid $75k or more to start. Other schools will get $70 or less. YOU CAN NEGOTIATE PAY AND LOCATION AND TYPE OF CONSULTANT. Do it!!Advice to Management
It's gotten to the point where I don't know what to say to management
