Pros

Many opportunities to move up in the company. Also, there are many positions to move laterally in the company. Working abroad is also available. The work environment is extremely professional and makes for a productive and exciting place to work. The company is big with over 300,000 employees all over the world. And it is possible to communicate with each employee easily and efficiently.

Cons

The only down side I can see is that because the company is so big, it is easy to get lost in the crowd. Other than that, I can no other downside to working for this company.

Pros

A good tempreture for balance your life and work. Not high presure, neither the pay. A really global company, with global oppotunity. Be a business consultant would be a good choice in IBM, which means good pay, travel oppotunity, flexible time, and more chance to get contact with the customers.

Cons

Too many people, too many process. Not too much oppotunity for people if you don't have much experience. IBM is transfering to a software company, and for the traditional field such as servers, it seems shrinking year by year.

Pros

Good infrastructure, global corporation, very flexible company (hours).

Cons

Politics, politics, politics. Most of the jobs are doing some kind of software maintenance. Few new/good projects to work on.
