Pros

You have access to lots of up to date technology. There are a lot of competent people that work at IBM. You can gain a lot of valuable experience in the industry. The benefits are decent, and the work hours are very flexible.

Cons

Management is very stingy with salary increases and promotions. The performance review process (PBCs) is very opaque and and seemingly random. You are given very vague feedback from management on the type of work expected from you and your performance relative to your peers.
