Pros

Excellent place to launch acareer.Difficult to move up but benefits and expereince make up for that.I say one should go for it.At IBM, we make some of the industry's most advanced information technologies, including computer systems, software, networking systems, storage devices and microelectronics. Equally impressive is our worldwide network of IBM solutions and services' professionals that translate these advanced technologies into business value for our customers. Our range of products and services has given IBM a unique role in the networked world; we are at the center of the global e-business revolution. It's fuelling our growth and inspiring our people. If you spend some time with our people in an R&D lab, in a brainstorming session or even in the cafeteria over lunch, you'll feel it. A strong sense of purpose. A new determination.

Cons

Moving up and benefits aren't as great.

Pros

Respected company with high level of innovaiton. A lot of opportunities to improve skills and knowledge: there is also the possibility to change business units varying from application/consulting services to infrastructure services as well as to transactional sales such as hardware and software. Very structured and well defined HR processes, aligned with top experiences on the market. The strongest aspect is the possibility to leverage on a large IT professional community around the world to solve your own problem, sharing experiences and have new ideas. The IT infrastructure supports the information sharing the connection among employees. Good work&life balance with possibity to work remotely form home.

Cons

Burocratic and no possibilities to growth quickly in your career even is you are an high performer, working 12 hours per day. Years have to run ... and there is not a direct correlation between outcomes and career progression and salary. Sometime there is the perception to not have a clear direction to follow in strategy definition.
