Pros

* Solid, well known company * Performing well over the last few years ... they "beat" the recession * Lot's of information available to those who want it

Cons

* US workforce has been shrinking for years, the typical development team has to coordinate with teams in India, China, and Brazil * Bonus and salary pools have been shrinking for years. Bonuses are typically prefaced with "Be happy you are getting a bonus, I had to lay two people off yesterday" * Top appraisals being severely limited in the US and Europe. Management is unable to offer deserving people an appropriate appraisal

Sometimes too big. You can get lost within the beurocracy. IBM tends to be understaffed and consequetly there is a lot of overtime needed.
