Pros

Frankly, IBM is the company that sets the pace for just about all things technology. One of the things that stunned me about the company is how the company pushes the rest of the industry from a technical perspective. IBM is responsible for a vast number of patents, and continues to put money into research and development to dictate what's next.

Cons

I really haven't found any significant downsides. I could claim excessive travel, but that's more about my position than the company. We do have a very positive image throughout the world, and the logo on my business card gets respect.

Pros

There are a lot of trainings provided for employees. It is a great place for those willing to learn and grow.

Cons

Long hours of work, complex system, a lot of meetings. Too much power is given to the first managers (especially HR-related matters). A lot of things are depends on them (or their mood).
