      Good place to start your career, get lots of training and build-up your core consulting skills.

      Pros

      IBM is a top Consulting brand that will look good on your resume. The training opportunities are plenty more than most other Consulting Firms. IBM and Accenture are two of the best Firms to build up your Core Consulting skills. IBM unlike Accenture has more over 40 year old Consultants, so it is a more mature Work-Life balanced culture than Accenture's Long hour Work-days and Spring-Break Weekends.

      Cons

      IBM is too big to notice you as a person. I hate the Partner worshiping. The Coaching and Performance Reviewers just suck. The retirement and benefits package used to be good but they are being cut significantly.

      Pros

      Fresh out of school, I think it would be a great place to explore because there are so many different IBMs. There are opportunities to work in almost any part of the globe and in really excellent fields like fractals. IBM also has a lot of presence in Second Life, which is a lot like having the company's blessing to play games!

      Cons

      If you're acquired later in a career, and there is nothing similar, they don't necessarily know what to do with you, and it's really up to you to try to dig yourself out of miscategorization. Also, since it is so large, if you're used to a small company where it's easy to make sure everyone knows something, the 'pull' culture at IBM is tough to get used to - w3 is a great mass of information that you're expected to navigate for yourself.
