Pros

Opportunities to take on a wide variety of assignments. Access to a tremendous amount of knowledge via internal forums, wiki, blogs etc. I was able to work in marketing, sales, development, research, and services in my time there.

Cons

Extreme focus on utilization causes pressure to make up for earned vacation etc. Was asked to defer vacation to make up for others on the bench.

Pros

Opportunities for learning and professional development. The company invests a lot developing their employees. Besides the formal training, during my years at IBM, I had the opportunity to interact and work with very competent and smart people. As long as you follow some ground rules and principles, there is a good deal of freedom to develop your work the way you think fit. Good vertical and horizontal communication. Salary and benefits are good comparing with similar companies

Cons

Too much pressure for results. A few bad/ incompetent managers.
