Pros

Brand recognition, good benefits, possible parallel career transitions, good resume experience and flexibility when not working on client site as (most) employees are able to work out of any IBM location or from home.

Cons

Complicated org structure, promotion is some what relationship based. The company give you a decent number of vacation days but when working for GBS, there is such a strong emphasis on utilization rate that you can't realistically take them all. The unused days can not be rolled over or cash out.
