Pros

Many different technologies used, many industry engagments, world wide opportunity to consult if you find that interesting.

Cons

Zero investment in new skills. If you learn something it is only because you took the initiative. IBM is constantly releasing new and revised product solutons and yet their own core employee base does not know how to utilize them making internal and external employment more difficult over time.

Pros

Variety of job possibilities; positions available worldwide; fairly stable; low expectations; average compensation

Cons

Lack of "cool" products; loads of bureaucracy; impersonal; pay is not concomitant with effort; you work for a law firm, not a software company (#1 in patents for years has led to a very litigious corporation); carebear corporate culture that promotes based on externally-recognizable characteristics instead of merits

Pros

Worldwide company, a good name to write on your cv. Some line of business (like hw and sw) are good. Some country are good.

Cons

You're a number. In Italy IBM is not recognized as a management company, but as hw and sw vendor. If you want to work as a consultant you've to face a lot of problems, internal (like ou-of-markets tarifs) and esternal
