Pros

Just Brand Name, People know IBM and think its a great company to work

Cons

Well never found a inspiring Manager , After you work hard and its time to credit it goes to the managers. Politicians in Suits or coporate dress is what describes them. Never got any promotion for great job done even after recieveing clients appreciation, cuz its reserved for people who do networking with these managers. Lingering for long hours just to impress the managers is what they expect.

Pros

The organization has very deep pockets, and they provide a good opportunity for knowledge learning. There is tremendous importance placed on ensuring employees have the opportunity for training, both classroom and on-the-job. And cross-functional training is encouraged as well.

Cons

You need to be available 24/7, and the talk about work/life balance is just that - talk. While the training opportunities exist, utilization targets make them almost impossible to take advantage of.
