Pros

Structured technical career path, lots of choice, make of it what you will. IBM is a big place, experiences vary across departments; if your department is no good move! :-) Lots of information and clever people to speak to.

Cons

Big company; highly bureaucratic. People get lost inside IBM and lose their external context; IBM is a great place to work but we need to listen to our customers and act on that information. Simplify! Many customers think that if you work for IBM you know everyone and all the products; this can be a challenge.

Pros

Job stability is good and there are lots of opportunities for changing jobs within the company. If you can take advantage of all the benefits you can get a lot of value in addition to your pay.

Cons

Upper management is in denial on a lot of issues that the client-facing employees are dealing with
