Pros

good benefits, relaxing work atmosphere, no one watching over you, and complete freedom with your time.(great if you have a family and kids)

Cons

little focus on career and talent development, low salary for entry level and mid level hires. brings you onboard without specific projects, long benches, meaning you are going to sit for a while when there aren't projects around, most of the times, you have no choice in the project you are staffed on.

Pros

Building competence and technical skills. Ability to work in a global enviroment. Skilled co-workers. Great name in the industry that open doors. Stay for a while and leave when you built network and skills. IBM Background will give you a good foundation to look for new opportunites in the industri.

Cons

Processes, overstated targets that allows only senior management to overachive. Compensation only for senior management including a large fleet of jets for the invited elite. Fear of doing something wrong drives most employees and managers. interest in doing something different do not exist as this will cause a risk to get fired.
