      Pros

      IBM has a strong SW portfolio with good positioning within services and hardware segments. Hi investments on research. Company with good values. It's good to work in a company with long term relationship with customers. IBM has in mind the future and is not likely to take controversial decisions that can damage your reputation in the market.

      Cons

      Professional recognition is not clear. Been apart of the ERP, CRM and other business brings an unfair challenge to the SW Group sales team in General Business marketplace. The managers at IBM don't have any power to change or to propose big changes and are locked performing forecasting and taking care of burocratic workload. Too much talk and too low real action.

      Pros

      Everyone knows that you are working for a great company and you are looked upon for leadership based on your experience. Using the knowledge and skills learned from my time at GBS, I was did well in an MBA program -- post-consulting career. The personal perks include: airmiles and hotel points.

      Cons

      As a consultant, you are more in tune with the client. Its also difficult to get noticed by your managers for jobs well done. If you are not careful completing all necessary administrative work, it may mean the difference between a great bonus or an alright one. IBM does not allow you to collect American Express points.

      Good old boy network is a problem. They tend to promote people they like. If you are not close to someone you have a difficult time getting promoted.
