Pros

If you have one of the few good 1st lines an a decent 2nd line, you can be happy. But if your experience is like mine, 32 years, 23 managers, 2 great ones.

Cons

At this point, almost everything. Read the Pro's

Pros

IBM has vast number of areas that one can work and develop skills. It is somewhat strong in the mist of the economic turmoil. It has a recognizable and good reputation amongst society as a whole.

Cons

IBM tends to augment staff excessively and just place employees in projects without providing a defined role. You will end up doing random meaningless tasks, in which will amount to nothing and will barely assist you in growth. It really hurts you if you decide to leave apply for another position; you have nothing to really add. In addition, you will find youself in undefined roles, feeling like a lost fish in a pond.
