Pros

Forturn 20 company. The name is great to have on your resume. If you join as an experienced hire, you can receive an attractive compensation.

Cons

The future of consulting at IBM is not in the US. If you are willing to relocate to Brazil or India and getting paid local wages, then IBM is definitely the company for you!

Pros

Many bright, hard-working colleagues Access to great technology, resources, and interesting projects IBM Global Campus Work at home options A great place to work 10 years ago

Cons

IBM bureaucracy Constant threat of layoffs for U.S. workforce is a morale sapper Work / life balance goes out the window trying to meet project deadlines Failing to pay for Internet access for work at home employees is bush league Despite their blather about IBM values, upper management doesn't value employees, only the bottom line.
