Pros

If you work at managing your career you can do well. Still a very large company with many opportunities

Cons

Very heavy management style, little of the fun of even 10 years ago. Limited room for individuality

Pros

Brand name, salary, benefits, some big clients

Cons

The words that summarise IBM are: cliquey, not inspiring, not open minded, very mediocre middle management, not ahead of the curve although desperately trying. The company culture doesn't promote out of box thinking and it's not inclusive. You either like everyone else or you are out! Doesn't embrace change and value feedback.
