Pros

The company is big. There are many different opportunities. If you are aggressive, you can shine. If you want to relax, there are such positions for you.

Cons

The company is big. There are many process that you may not like. There are all different kinds of managers. If you are lucky to work for one you like, it is good. But there are many that may disappoint you. However, the company is big, so you can move around easily.

Pros

Access to extremely smart industry leaders within the company, good focus on customer satisfaction and creating solid products and services. Reasonable nenefits.

Cons

I was with the company for 10 years and saw the culture erode signficantly from high employee morale to low. The job I took after leaving IBM was a 50% improvement in compensation and this isn't uncommon. The issue is that they've cut so much cost out of the business trying to march to their Earnings per Share roadmap that it has had a far reaching effect on the allowable operating expenditure of the various business units. This translates into promotions being few and far between, measly compensation and raises and extenuating circumstances required to attend education or conferences that involve travel. The culture is also quite hierarchical vs. collegial and egalitarian.

Pros

You have a lots of resources to learn, with flexible work hours and good work/life balance.

Cons

Poor management, but surely good at international business not in national business. Jobs going overseas and revenue increasing outside US, I guess IBM is planning to reduce workforce in US.
