Pros

Good place to work if you have want something stable (when you have a family and what not). People are very jovial to talk to. It is easy to assimilate to the IBM environment. IBM provides many opportunities to join and get to know the community.

Cons

Entry level pay isn't so good. IBM isn't a company for college grads. When I worked as a Technical Specialist, I didn't feel they paid me well enough for my services to the development of web applications. I mean, again, if you need a stable job where you can work for 30 years, IBM is a good place to work. But other than that, there is no progress for a young career as myself.

Pros

The amount and number of resources and skills available to help get things done The benefits and insurance packages are very good, however they are somewhat expensive to add family members. There are many, perhaps too many, choices in where you would like to go and what focus you would like to add.

Cons

It is too large of an organization, you can easily get lost. While the company seems to honestly try to make everyone feel that they are important and necessary, it's very difficult in an organization of 380000 to not get lost. It takes a significant amount of time just to understand the different organizations and responsibilities.
