Decent pay, benefits, work/life balance
Project Manager (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 21 January 2022
Decent benefits and work/life balance. If you have a good manager, you are able to move up and take on more responsibility. If you have a bad manager, well... at any company it's hard to succeed without one.

Lack luster start - takes time to get momentum
SAP Consultant - ABAP Developer (Former Employee) - Bedford, NS - 20 May 2021
I was very excited to work at IBM, unitl I started and I wasn't given actual work for about 8.5 months. Usually the initial training (aka doing nothing) is about 3 months, but my own experience was a bit longer than normal due to poor hiring decisions - hiring too many employees for a single new client that ended up terminating the contract. I would go weeks without talking to my direct manager, even though he sat two desks over from myself. Although I do not blame him, he was new to the role when I started and I don't think it was in his job description to be constantly checking on me. He was a very nice guy otherwise. The starting salary and benefits are great for young adults starting their career. IBM is a great place to grow your skills. There is room for advancement but it is a very long term commitement, upwards of a decade for a management role.
Pros
Salary and Benefits
Cons
Poor Intial Training Process
