Pros

IBM is a large company with a lot of great people to work with. The IBM community is diverse, with locations around the world with people of all races, creeds, religions and beliefs. With all of this diversity, I think IBM has the ability to do anything it wants. The talent pool seems endless and the opportunities that arise for its employees are there if you are motivated to go after them. Often when you come out of college, you think you know what you want to do, but once you start doing that job, you find that it just doesn't suit you. IBM has many many disciplines that allow you to morph your career should you desire a change.

Cons

It is a large company, and this isn't for everyone. Still, I believe if you are motivated, the large size shouldn't be a problem.

Pros

A great company with opportunities that span the globe. You can start at the bottom - mail room and become Chairperson as one of the past CEOs did. They have excellent benefits and pay better than average. You can progress based on merit and are given opportunities based on skills and accomplishments.

Cons

Extremely competitive as you are working with the best. IBM hires from the top tier of candidate so your peers are all above average. If this is intimidating for you, this is not the place for you.
