Pros

Good place to get basic skills if you are still starting out and it looks really good on a resume. Most of the people you will work with are pretty sharp. You will get a lot of good traning.

Cons

Project work can vary and the level and quality of leadership is really hard to predict. You could chart a great path at IBM and then suddenly have a profitable unit shut down leaving you in a mushroom farm with no way out.

You get lots of free time to do your own work. I cannot think of any other good reason to tell.

Cons

There is lot of bureaucracy within the company. The decisions are slow and inefficient. The salary is very low compared to other companies
