Pros

Really smart folks to work with Focused on technology for customers Work life balance - many people start and end their career in IBM Well defined career paths

Cons

Really large company, so if your management chain is not good - you may not do well have to be self motivated and proactively manage career else there is a lot of scope for getting lost growing a lot by aquisition - not productizing its invention/loosing the innovation inside

Pros

IBM encourages telecommuting; Has a great program in place for peer-to-peer reward and recognition program

Cons

Uses lots of outsourced talent; sometimes the hype generated by IBM PR dept outshines the realities of working for a very large and diverse corporation
