Pros
IBM may be a good place for someone to gain some initial experience, but don't plan on staying very long. Because no matter how good a job you do - someone, somewhere can do it for a lower cost. Not necessarily better, but cheaper - and quarterly results are all that matter.
Cons
There's no loyalty; no job security. There is so much emphasis on cost-cutting practices that management has been effectively "throwing the baby out with the bath water" for several years now. It's frustrating to try to do a good job in a declining business environment surrounded by low morale.
