Pros

A completely ethical and fair environment that gives the employees the necessary safety and predictability to focus on the job to do. Flexible on hours and workplace. Welcomes diversity. Possibility of working on large, multi-million dollar projects and products. Most senior business and technical leadership are experienced professionals and great people.

Cons

Publicly owned, very traditional and risk-averse, it's a company focused on cost-savings, integrated vertical business processes and global cross policies and operations. In summary, to avert risk, it's a very slow-moving, traditional and predictable organization. It would take 20 people just to change a light bulb, another 20 to bill the customer and 5 others to audit the whole process. The result of this is that there is very little room for individualism, risk-takers, good use of intuition and real-time response to an dynamic market. "Innovation" in go-to-market routes, products and disruptive strategy is mostly done through acquisitions, despite the large investment in R&D (which sometimes is watered down due to our slow time-to-market).

Pros

they provide the best learning program... they dont just kick you out of the company very quickly.... they listen... and they let you explain your side.. the supports are as supportive as they should... and they are wonderful people you will ever deal with.... they will always help you with any difficulties you may encounter on the account you will work with... they will make it as easy as a blink of an eye..... getting hired as IBM employee is definitely a great advantage too... cause once you resign and look for another job, it will be like a sugar coating on your resume.... :)

Cons

agent's disputes are never processed.. that is actually the reason why is resigned

Pros

Big Company that is well known

Cons

Big Company with rigid processes and alot of management that come from admin not sales background. Middles East is ok to work in for IBM if you are Lebanese, Egyptian, Syrian or generally come from the ME region - My personal manager was a fantastic man - people above him I would never work for again
