      IBM Rocks!

      Pros

      You can have many careers while still working for the same company. I am always learning new things and am encouraged to pursuits my interests. IBM is very cutting edge with lots of new tools to use (and develop), but it isn't reckless. The company has a lot of integrity and works hard to maintain its well-earned reputation.

      Cons

      Promotions to the top technical levels are very political. They don't seem to always go to the best employees, but rather to the ones who "play the game".

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It's a market leader with lot of opportunities. With over three hundred thousand employees around the globe and core business that spans hardware, software, and services, there are tons of opportunities to learn and grow in just about any area you field you care to pursue. Also, IBM is good at listening to it's employees. It is an organization that encourages autonomy and contribution by it's personnel. This may be due to the proclivity towards hiring independent minded technical people. In fact, you do not need be a sales or management star to excel at IBM. There are many, many individual contributors on a technical plane that are akin to executives with their power and pay.

      Cons

      It's a behemoth that encourages specialization and has an engineering dominated mindset
