Pros
Culture of continuous learning and creating opportunities to apply that knowledge to your everyday career experience. Base compensation is on par. Lots of opportunities to move around within IBM from a career journey. Having the IBM brand behind you gets you access to the right buyers.
Cons
Very hard to get into IBM if you are an external hire at a midline to band D level. Highly political internally. Expect a 2+ year onboarding experience if you have had a career outside of IBM. Learning the IBM ways of working are difficult as it doesn't model standard business rules but more of a matrix cultural model.
