Pros

A good tempreture for balance your life and work. Not high presure, neither the pay. A really global company, with global oppotunity. Be a business consultant would be a good choice in IBM, which means good pay, travel oppotunity, flexible time, and more chance to get contact with the customers.

Cons

Too many people, too many process. Not too much oppotunity for people if you don't have much experience. IBM is transfering to a software company, and for the traditional field such as servers, it seems shrinking year by year.

Pros

Good infrastructure, global corporation, very flexible company (hours).

Cons

Politics, politics, politics. Most of the jobs are doing some kind of software maintenance. Few new/good projects to work on.
