Pros

Working with some of the best Technical minds within the industry

Cons

US companies are overly sales focused and promotions gravitate towards its sales force resulting in some people being promoted based on previous sales ability and not sustainability within their career.

Having them on your resume has become a minus the past couple of years Exiting the US market in favor of growth and BRIC countries All work not required to by a US contract will be moved offshore within 2 years

Pros

For someone new to IT, IBM can be a place to get exposure to various pre-developed assets that can be leveraged in your career after you leave IBM after 2 or 3 years.

Cons

IBM is in the process of exiting the United States as an employer. Literally the only people left in the US in IBM will be services employees dedicated to customer accounts that contractually require those people to sit in the US. The concept of having a career in IBM is only a valid concept if you intend to work in one of the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) countries.
