Pros

I'm with IBM for already 7yrs and the company has been just great. Market compensation and benefits, endless learning and growth opportunities, outstanding co-workers. I joint after working for a small consultancy where I was overworked and on the brink of a burnout, IBM felt like a breath of fresh air.

Cons

Getting into bands 8 and above is more for people with business acumen.
