Pros

You work with very competent and knowledgeable peers. Great people.

Cons

IBM ignores all but the top 5% of the company when doling out promotions and compensation. Executives occupy space based on the Peter Principal. Managers are bureaucratic robots put in place to cull 10% of the population. This year it will be greater than 10% as more and more jobs are moved offshore. Was once the greatest place anyone could work, not anymore.

Pros

Excellent place to start your career and understand how to work in a large organization. Alot of opportunity to try different areas on the business

Cons

It's a very political organization, every year it seems the company takes a little bit away from employees. The compensation is below the industry average. IBM has a way of institutionalizing you to the IBM way, this can be dishearting for those the question the norm, eventually you have to make a decision on whether you can live without anything changing and becoming an IBMer or quit drinking the koolaid and find a new opportunity outside the company.
