Pros

Complete work life flexibility with very mature management system. IBM provides lots of structure to careers and opportunities for growth. You can be the master of your own fate...

Cons

With 400,000 employees, IBM can't help but be bureaucratic, so you have to deal with red tape and processes at times. Also, the ship doesn't move as nimbly as one would hope.

Pros

big name, seems wide global resources various industry project opportunities can meet various companies, mostly SOEs and SMEs can learn a lot both as a consulting serivces but also as a traditional corporate

Cons

consulting is less valued in a sale-driven culture People are driven by the short-term numbers, not the long-term development of people and strategic relationship with clients
